I made this as a latte with almond milk. It’s is a nice-tasting mate. I’m definitely smelling the banana others have noted, and taste that a bit too. It’s a bit offputting for me, sensitive as I am to banana, but the chocolate-raspberry combination works well enough here to make up for it. This has made a nice, creamy latte that tastes rich but not too heavy.

Unfortunately, I’m having the same experience with this as I have with other mates; for some reason mate kind of seems to turn my stomach even if I find one I like the taste of. It’s just doing weird things and making me feel queasy. Ugh! My throat also always feels strange after/while drinking mate. What’s with that?

I think this one fares better hot or steeped-and-then-iced than cold-brewed. It’s still very good this way but the juicy pineapple doesn’t come through as well, nor does the sencha. Everything’s muted.

This was more pancakey this morning, and quite delicious. I’m not sure what I did differently, though I’m not sure if I used boiling water previously but did this time.

I had this in the morning for, I think, the first time. Usually this calls to me in the evening. But it was really nice to gradually wake up with on a lazy morning.
