I steeped this for about 6 minutes. It was really good. I previously drank Guayaki Yerba Mate, which is really good as well, but La Merced’s is less bitter. Guayaki tends to be very “woody” and “dirty.” That’s not necessarily bad to me, but after drinking this tea – it’s just smoother. Good stuff.
Anthropology geek. I love tea, of course. I’m in my 30s and live with 2 fat cats and a giant of a man in Northwest GA.
In tea, I prefer loose teas of all kinds. I really like Oolong and Darjeeling (black). Although I prefer loose teas and they were all I drank for years, I now drink and own a lot of packaged teas due to convenience and find that many of them are really good. You will probably see me review many more packaged teas due to this. I’m hoping to go on a loose tea shopping spree sometime soon.
One of my favorite things is to go to tea houses, whether they be Victorian or Asian style. If you have any suggestions on great ones, I’m open.
I really like to grow bunches of things and write about it (see url below).
Oh, and I love that this website exists.
