2 Tasting Notes
I was a little reserved to try this tea, as I have never tried a mate or guayusa, and the ratings were a little mixed. It seemed people either loved or hated it, and those that were in the middle thought it might be better iced. I tried it hot, and I LOVED IT. I think this is a new favorite, and I feel like I need to go out and order a years’ supply.
I like tangy, and tart. I am big on cranberry juice, so I figured I would give this a try.
It is tart, but not at all bitter, and you can taste a subtle fruitiness. It gave me a nice energy boost, which was just what I needed, and I didn’t add anything to it. I often find the need to add to my teas, trying to break the habit.
Anyways, I have a new favorite, and if you like tartness, you will love this tea.
Preparation
I’m brand new to this, but I bought several teas on a spree, and this one had great reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I like chocolate, and I like mint, so why not.
I’m sad to say, I didn’t like it at all. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and I’m not sure what from, but I feel like it was either the chocolate or the sprinkles in it… I also feel like the mint was drowned out by the chocolate. I tried it black, tried it a with a little sugar, and then a little milk (I usually drink my teas with sugar or honey and milk or coconut milk), and after that it was tolerable, but still not for me. Unless it grows on me, I wont be buying again.
