This was yesterdays’ tea from David’s Advent Tea Calendar. I put it off until this afternoon because normally I drink these teas in the evening. I’ve never had yerba mate before, and I thought it might possibly keep me awake. So I brewed up a cup this afternoon and I have to say it sure smells good. (I still LOVE being able to say that! I don’t know how long my sense of smell will last this time, but I think I should have it until the beginning of January. It’s not greatly honed, but I can definitely smell.) I’m undecided about the flavor. It is a little too sweet, I think. I can taste the chocolate, but it is subtle. I can’t smell or taste the almond at all, but I suspect that is my weak sense of smell. All in all, a pleasant cup. I don’t plan to rush out and buy more, but I think I’ll enjoy finishing off my sample.
Flavors: Chocolate, Sweet
