This was the tea I had been putting off (#92). Honestly, it’s not that it tastes bad. It’s fine. But maté isn’t really my favorite. The jasmine is fading in this one; clearly the pearls in this are less high quality than some of my older jasmine greens, although I suppose that isn’t too surprising.
If I wait another year to drink it again it will probably be comepletely flavorless.
ETA: This is one of the few teas I still have left from back when I was buying tons of teas from new-to-me-companies on tea deals (so, buying larger amounts instead of trying things out via samples). Oh, how things have changed in my tea drinking habits.
