I approached my maiden cup of yaupon very carefully, because it was at work and in case it affected me strangely (visions of me zoning out at my desk in a peyote haze), I was very cautious with the steep time—a conservative three minutes instead of the 10-15 suggested on the packet.
Caution may have minimized the energizing effect, but I can definitely see and taste similarities to mate’. Tastes like a cross between green tea and roasted coffee, and made a nice little mid-morning eye opener on a blustery day.
derk to the rescue again!

Haha. Having encountered a cactus similar to peyote before, I can say it’s better partnered with nature than with work :)
“Tastes like a cross between green tea and roasted coffee” – good way to describe it. I feel like it has a gentle malty sweetness, too.
And there was another glitch on the site, so these last few notes of yours didn’t show up in my feed.
It has been a little hiccupy this week.
