Roasted Yerba Maté (BH22)

I prefer the roasted yerba mate to the green. More coffee like and this was one I used to kick coffee. I rebought this one in a large size, it is quite nice. I really like to blend it with fruit teas though. And I recently hit on using it for iced tea, made cold with Upton’s
Strawberry Cream and it was like the best iced tea ever! On Upton’s site you will find the refrigerator iced tea method and it is awesome. Super easy, all you will have to do is strain it and better than hot tea turned iced.

It is amazing what a little roasting can do to yerba mate. Green, mate tastes like a strong green tea; Roasted, it is like a mellow, chocolaty black tea.

I’ve yet to try this tea iced, but I’m skeptical if the flavors will transfer over cold. I think it will probably work in a tea latte, though.
