From DAVIDsTEA

This brew gives you a tasty boost with a unique combination of exotic ingredients. It combines four types of coffee beans with Argentinian maté, and laces them with carob, white chocolate and chicory. The result is sweet, rich and deliciously satisfying. Plus it’s a sweet treat you can enjoy guilt-free, since this blend has virtually no calories. No wonder they say maté makes you efficient.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this one. I loathe coffee, and that was definitely the predominant scent of the brew. But the flavor was really just nutty and roasted and a touch creamy. I’m not sure I’ll purchase it because my mind kept telling.e it tasted like coffee, even though it didn’t. But I did enjoy the sample I had.

The smell was deceptive. The first swallow didn’t seem to bad. The second mouthful had me rushing to spit it out and rinse my mouth out. This was gross. Beyond gross. If I wanted to drink coffee, I’d drink coffee, which I don’t, I drink tea.

This tea is gross. I tried adding sweetener and did not think it could be possible, but this addition made it worse. Not worth finishing or buying ever again.

Second day of the Advent Calander. Coffee Tea? YES. Get in my face quickly.

Once steeped the coffee element is a lot more subtle then I’d expected it to be. I’ve only had Yerba Mate once or twice, and a good while ago so I didn’t know what kind of flavor I’d get there. I enjoyed the flavor over all quite a bit, and so did my husband who rarely agrees with me on anything when it comes to tea.

The one thing I will say, I’ve heard Yerba Mate is energizing and I got none of that from this tea. I drank it in the evening and it did nothing to give me a refresh. In fact I dozed off halfway through the glass, finished it upon waking up, and went straight to sleep.

Day 2 of the 2016 advent calendar! I’ve been busy all day so I’m being smart about things by having this coffee mate, at… 8 PM. Oh well, I’ve still got loads of things I need to get done so I’ll still get to sleep fine (I hope). The tea itself smells very interesting… it’s very woody with some coffee in there. I recall having this once before in 2014 I think but I don’t actually remember anything about this tea.

Admittedly it is better than I was expecting. It’s actually pretty smooth and the chicory coffee taste is nice. It’s one of the most unique coffee teas that I’ve ever tasted, really. I like this as its own thing, so I think it’s unfair for me to compare it to other teas in its category. I’m not sure if I’ll get any of this in-store, but I’m enjoying this cup.

Day 2 of the DavidsTea calendar! I like this more than most of the other reviewers did. I am not a coffee drinker but I like mild coffee flavor if the bitterness can be curtailed. And this has a lot going on.

I taste the coffee flavor, I taste sweetness, and somehow there is a little hint of mint-like brightness. Overall, it is smooth and delicious. This seems like a great tea for sipping as you read a book quietly by yourself. This is one I may repurchase for just such an occasion.

Thank you, SuperAnna!

Advent Calendar day 2. When I saw that this tea had coffee in it, I knew the odds of me liking it were slim to none because I cannot stand the taste of coffee. The first few sips were okay. I didn’t taste much coffee and instead got a vanilla taste with some notes of white chocolate. I only wish it had stayed that way. Then, the strong coffee aftertaste began to take over and I knew that I was in trouble. I couldn’t even finish my cup. Here’s to hoping the rest of the advent calendar is more to my taste.

Day 2 of the DAVID’s Tea advent calendar!

I decided to give this one a go as a latte, which I feel was the right choice. Even so, this one wasn’t a winner for me. Even as a latte, a lot of oil floated to the top and it really had an earthy vibe that I couldn’t get into. Once the top oil was sipped away it got significantly better, but still nothing to write home about. Still an earthy vibe with strong coffee notes in the aftertaste and a hint of white chocolate. I do wish this was a little sweeter; I even considered adding sugar but decided against it. I can’t say I’m surprised really — I’m not really a fan of coffee or maté.

I would not recommend this tea. It is bitter and disgusting. Not blended well at all.

I really enjoyed this yerba mate and coffee blend. It’s a nice start to the day as a coffee-tea hybrid to give you a bit of a caffeine hit. The coffee beans help to balance the sweetness of the mate and chocolate. There’s a nice creaminess to it and I don’t mind the bitterness that is reminiscent of the bitterness I’m accustomed to with coffee.
