Advent 4.
Imagine, if you can, a cocoa mix… Blue Diamond cocoa dusted almonds, warm cocoa butter, Cocoa Pebbles cereal… not sweet, not at all bitter but fragrant, soothing and mild. And mix it with equally mild grassy yerba maté. These flavors were meant to be together, people. Such smooth harmony.
Flavors: Almond, Cocoa, Grass, Nutty, Smooth

Clearly I did something wrong with this one because I found it so underwhelming. I’ll have to remember to try it again sometime!
I’m not a hot maté fan but I found this so smooth with boiling water. I’m surprised it was sharp for you. Do you use tap water?
No, I use filtered water. It’s been a month since I had it so I’m not sure I remember specifics other than what I wrote. XD
derk, how long did you steep this for?
Whatever the packet said, both steeps boiling, 4 and 5 or 6 minutes. I use tap water for brewing tea (bring out the pitchforks).
So you and Cameron both brewed this for about 5 minutes so it couldn’t have been because you did a short steep, which I suspected. Maybe this just tastes better with tap water! ha
derk and me are using tap water, and you others are filtering or what?!
The sink I use has a filter that I use for drinking water/tea water since otherwise I feel I’m drinking pure chlorine. I sent a water test through the mail and they were surprised at the chlorine levels.
My fridge has an auto-refilling removable pitcher with filtered water, so I use that to fill my kettle. :)
