Yerba maté Tea by Tea Addiction
Ingredients: Yerba maté, cacao nibs, and vanilla flavoring. Get yourself going with this yerba maté chocolate treat! These leaves are believed to stimulate the immune system, decrease inflammation, and increase metabolism.
With the addition of cacao nibs, a myriad of vitamins as well as a natural anti-depressant “sweeten” the pot. Cacao is also thought to encourage mental alertness and clarity of mind. Try adding a touch of milk to make your cup of smooth and chocolaty Yin Yang Maté extra special!
Thanks LiberTEAs…backlogging…Steepster has been giving me problems lately…anyhow…
This was MUCH better than I anticipated! The cacao and vanilla in addition to the mate worked well together – nothing was overly intense tho…I really appreciated the roasty/toasty effects too!
Nice chocolate-y aroma to the dry leaf! YUM!
I love brewing yerba mate in my Libre mug, because I can keep the leaf in the bottom chamber and allow the flavors to continually develop as I sip it.
This is tasty. It has a smoky/woody essence that I wasn’t prepared for – it seems to be taking the place of the usual earthy/vegetative taste that I usually experience with yerba mate. I’m not finding the smoky taste off-putting, just different. As it cools the smoky taste subsides a little while more of the earthy note comes through.
The cacao is more of a savory taste than a sweet one here. The vanilla is faint when the cup is very hot, but as it cools more of the vanilla appears.
Overall, a very tasty mate! YUM!
