Couldn’t remember if I had tried this flavour before so I picked one up the same time as I got the Bluephoria earlier this week…
Turns out I have tried it about seven years ago, but I’m glad I got it again because past Roswell had strong and negative feelings about this tea. Current Roswell!? Current Roswell was pretty underwhelmed by it, but definitely didn’t think it was off putting or too intensely yerba mate heavy by any stretch. I will say, it’s much more of a noticeable taste of the mate than what was present in the Bluephoria I had earlier this week and it’s got a little bit of a metallic undertone to it, but mostly it was just a really standard RTD style of lemon flavouring. Really kind of just… fine.
So, I guess that’s palate growth!?
There’s a new one out this past year — Tropical Uprising. Wonder if it has popped up in the Montreal market.
Haven’t seen that one yet, but the flavour makes a lot of sense. Tropical flavours are BOOMING right now.
Tropical fruits are zee best! TU has less sugar than the other canned flavors and I think it’s the most mate forward. It’s not like drinking an Arizona or Snapple. My employer sells a bunch of different Guayaki RTD; TU has some vocal critics among the staff.
