This is another one I bought on a whim from the salvage grocery store. I figured even if it was bad, I could just make it into chai or something.
Turns out, it’s not great. I mean, I’m not a fan of yerba mate in the first place, so I might be biased. It’s strong, rubbery-tasting and cloudy. Very dark and pungent. With a little sweetner, it’s not bad, but it’s defintely not a great black tea experience. There are notes of green plant matter, earth, and hay.
However, they weren’t kidding about it being energizing. Black tea plus yerba mate = cracked-out Tabby. I’m going to have to remember this on days when I’m dragging my feet at work.
So, basically, I don’t recommend this tea for the taste or quality. But I do recommend it for the buzz!
Flavors: Dirt, Earth, Hay
Now all you need is some Cubby Wubby Womb Room tea…
Some what…?
