I put this in my gravity steeper and totally lost track of time. Thankfully, mate tea doesn’t seem to do the mad-crazy-bitter thing that black tea does when oversteeped. This just became stronger.
This tea gets a special place in my heart for being one of the first ones I liked. My friend was ordering from David’s Tea and I threw in an order for a few things, just to try them. I had no idea what I was ordering. This one’s ingredients sounded good, and I’d heard vague things about mate tea helping with weight loss. Boom. Money gone. Tea arrival.
Thankfully, my lack of knowledge didn’t hurt me.
This is a great tea. Deep and slick and with a few chocolate and mate notes, as well as a hint of robust coffee.
Oddly, my FAVORITE part of this tea is its aftertaste. (How often can one say that about ANYTHING?) It coats the tongue in something really silky and good that I can’t quite pinpoint. Yum.
