Iced, this is a crazy color, due to the green tea/yerba mate blend. It’s an almost glowing yellow-green, very much like the color of mountain dew. But it’s also very refreshing. The flavors meld together nicely, and it does seem invigorating to the taste buds. :-)

bitter, even in a mug mug and at the minimum brewing time listed. No biggie, since I was planning to add Bailey’s anyway. 2 tbsp smoothed it out nicely :-)

at Sil and Nik ’s suggestions, I tried 2.5 min. Much better – good balance of tea and flavor, and no bitterness!

Someone recently suggested that rooibos and Irish cream go well together, so I added 1 Tbsp Bailey’s to a small, strong mug of this. I must say, I agree!

dry – smells like butter and syrup
while brewing – that bready note comes in and really does remind me of pancakes on the griddle :-)
steeped – gorgeous color like dark maple syrup, and still smells like pancakes! Can smell the black tea base too. Surprisingly, I’m getting a bit of bitterness like it’s overbrewed at only 3 min :( It does remind me a bit of the crispy edges of a slightly overdone pancake. I added 1/4 tsp pure maple syrup, which toned down the bitter note, but overshadowed the flavors a bit. Then I added 1tsp milk which seemed to smooth things out.
I will have to try less time/lower temp and see what that does. Overall it’s not a bad morning cuppa and I think I’ll grow to love it.
