This one blended very well...I'm used to drinking green kukicha, but this has the roasted kukicha which I think blends well with the Yerba Mate. I can't notice the sencha as much, and I don't know what the Gingko would be like. I will say, the aroma is somewhat earthy, like a root or rhizome. There's a significant woody quality to the aroma.
Pleasant to drink, but a bit dry and flat. How does it make me feel? It definitely provides a slight boost, but in not quite as perky a way as a normal cup of tea. I'd be curious to know how much caffeine is in this blend.
Overall? Somewhat enjoyable, but I'm not sure I'd drink it for taste.
