…lime in the coconut and you blend it with green yerba mate, lemon balm, lemon verbena, lemongrass and natural flavors, and you have one delicious beverage!
I know I promised some folks a honeybush blend this week, but I’m working out a few more details on that blend—stay tuned. For this week, we have a truly unique and delicious blend of green yerba mate with lime/lemon and coconut. This is really delicious as an iced tea, the creamy notes of the coconut and the tangy citrus notes do battle for the attention of your tastebuds. I had a big icy stein of this earlier and it’s really, really delicious. You’re not going to want to miss out on this one.
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…
This was certainly a pungent-smelling cuppa – very herbal with added lime. The flavour is…interesting, again it’s rather pungently herbal with some slight bitter notes. The coconut is more readily apparent giving the tea a nutty aftertaste, but I’m not getting as much citrus as I thought I would given the scent.
I’m not entriely sure what I think of this tea yet, so I’m going to hold off reviewing it for now.
