Yerba Mate

Okay…so…Yerba Mate. I don’t want to say I don’t like Yerba Mate…but there hasn’t been many out there that I would run out a buy. I’m not saying that I would by this one in bulk either BUT…this is a nice cup of Yerba Mate! No funky taste or aftertaste or aroma! That’s always a plus in my book! It tastes like a paler herbal so it’s not overly flavorful. Based on my personal search for a yerba mate…this has to be one of the better ones to fit my palate so far.

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this Yerba Mate!

This is a good Yerba Mate. It has a vegetative undertone to it, but nothing too overwhelming. The earthiness is there too, as well as a pleasant sweetness to it.

After picking up a few tips from the forum, I took their advice and used 1tsp or just under of leaves, dampened with cold water, then added boiling water. I added cinnamon (prob 1/2 tsp) and it tasted okay. On the four steep, it’s tasting nice even without the cinnamon, but it’s only very weak now. It’s still not my favourite, but it’s a big improvement on what I had before and I will probably finish the 50g I bought before I retire (in 35 years’ time)

As Teapigs state themselves, ’you’ll either love it or hate it’, I am certainly a lover. It does have quite a strong taste to it which I enjoyed, however my partner didn’t (yay, more for me!). If it helps you to detox and lose weight, even better.
