drank Yerba Mate by T2
10 tasting notes

I am not a yerba mate expert so I can’t speak to whether this tastes authentic. I’m always on the lookout for coffee substitutes so I thought I’d give this sample a try (with trepidation, some Internet reviews have described yerba mate as tasting like cigarettes!) I was pleasantly surprised, to me it tasted like green tea accompanied by the smell of freshly cut grass. There was a hint of honey to the taste as well. Looking forward to buying a box and adding it to my caffeine arsenal!

Flavors: Cut Grass, Honey

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML

Bio

A tea heathen currently working through the T2 range and any other teas unfortunate enough to land in my path.

Fond of:
- black teas
- rooibos with milk (but not straight)
- teas with dessert names and connotations
- green teas, especially with popped rice
- white teas
- pu er teas from third steeping onwards

On the fence about:
- herbal teas
- chai ( I want to like these but find the cardamom overpowering)
- oolong teas

Not convinced about:
- fruit teas
- teas with coconut flavouring
