You Put The...

Interesting – I was afraid that the longer steep would bring out the herbal notes of the yerba mate more, but it seems to have done the opposite and capitalized on the coconut. I think I’m liking the blend more this time around.

I am putting together a swap package or two so while rummaging through my tea stash I came across this – I haven’t tried it yet, so I figured now was as good a time as any!

Nice! A nice balanced flavor of lemon, lime, coconut and yerba mate. Nothing too overwhelming. I love the sweet-tart finish at the end, it reminds me of a freshly squeezed lemon limeade… very juicy!

I’ve been wanting to try this one for a while and because of LiberTEAs I was able to! Thanks so much!!!!

Dry – prior to infusion – this smells like coconut and oregano. The Coconut wasn’t a surprise but the oregano-likeness certainly did!

While infusing the aroma magnifies! Now it smells like coconut, citrus, an assortment of fresh herbs, and something that reminds me of a gentle ginger…maybe it’s the yerba mate??? Not sure.

This tastes more herbally than I expected, actually. I can taste the lime more than anything followed by the lemon and coconut. They help cover – what I consider a stereotypical yerba mate taste.

This is comforting yet energizing. Citrus yet herbal. Lime but lemon. Warm but cooling. A contradiction in a cup, perhaps? Ah…but it’s a GOOD contradiction for opposites attract!

Different but Good!

Yes! Hot, this tea is all lemon and lime wrapped in a coconut hug. And not one of those weird lingering hugs from someone you don’t like. Thankfully the lemon isn’t that nasty plastic lemon flavour either (which I have previously ranted about).
Chilled is when this yerba mate really shines – specifically the lime – making me long for those warm desert nights I had poolside in Palm Springs all those weeks ago…
