Light pleasant almost sweet floral taste. I wasn't into lavender before this tea so I have to say I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed drinking this instead of a black breakfast tea. http://ratetea.com/review/5782/http://ratetea.com/review/5782/Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:06:30 ESTI've never been a big fan of the base flavor of yerba mate, which strikes me as metallic and overly bitter, despite trying to get used to it during my years living in South Florida, where everything from sodas to candy, tea, baked goods, and even alcoholic beverages are made with it. That caveat duly affixed herein, I liked this tea and wouldn't mind trying more. The aroma wasn't very strong in the dry bag, nor in-cup, but still was mild, pleasant, and tropical-fruity, as should be expected from the ...http://ratetea.com/review/5455/http://ratetea.com/review/5455/Thu, 11 Jan 2018 21:06:06 ESTFirstly, this tea is great on its own, but I decided to mix it with adagio's raja oolong chai as a replacement for Teavana's Samurai mate and maharaja oolong chai blend I sampled at the mall. I also recommend putting a bit of masala in this tea too. I steeped this tea for 6 minutes and found it did not re-steep well at all. The taste is pleasant and fruity. While also having a nice spicy kick of cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. The tea is a great value at only 24 dollars a pound. But that is to be expected...http://ratetea.com/review/5032/http://ratetea.com/review/5032/Sat, 25 Mar 2017 18:58:04 ESTHow can one cup of tea make me simultaneously frustrated and at ease? This maté blend is the perfect equilibrium between crudity and finesse! http://ratetea.com/review/4882/http://ratetea.com/review/4882/Sun, 01 Jan 2017 21:02:35 ESTlove this tea, but can't get it any longer. website said they stopped making it. if this is so, I really wish the company would rethink that and bring it back! http://ratetea.com/review/4840/http://ratetea.com/review/4840/Thu, 24 Nov 2016 05:29:10 ESTMediocre yerba mate. Too flat taste with too much minty accents.http://ratetea.com/review/4511/http://ratetea.com/review/4511/Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:34:43 ESTThis is easily my favorite mate. I love the blend of mate with chocolate and spices. The nutmeg and cinnamon are wonderful. I also enjoy the natural sweetness the stevia gives the blend. The taste is almost like a chocolate chai with a mate base instead of black tea. Overall a wonderful drink, especially in the cold winter months. http://ratetea.com/review/4379/http://ratetea.com/review/4379/Wed, 13 May 2015 17:26:29 ESTNot bad. The spices before brewing smell delicious, but their flavor is more muted in the drink. Both the spice and the chocolate are a bit more understated than I would like. I think I've been spoiled by hot chocolate when it comes to judging chocolate tea. Certainly worth a shot, but still not the chocolate tea of wonder and pizzaz that I'm looking for.http://ratetea.com/review/4363/http://ratetea.com/review/4363/Tue, 05 May 2015 10:57:19 ESTSometimes I lead with the negatives. Maybe that's a fault, but instead I'd like to think it prepares the taster for the experience, letting them look past the bad to the delightful. In that spirit, the bags smell like stale herbs and there's no individual wrapping. As someone that likes to sniff teabags as well as someone who appreciates freshness in something portable like an individual tea bag, it's hard for me to look past those petty things. The brewed mate itself is tasty, especially with a little ...http://ratetea.com/review/4361/http://ratetea.com/review/4361/Tue, 05 May 2015 09:10:11 ESTDon't be fooled by the cheap-looking teabag or reasonable price tag, this is an absolutely delicious on-the-go mate. I have to ration myself, otherwise I'd probably drink three or four bags a day, which wouldn't be so bad as the caffeine has a very gentle curve. Wait, why exactly do I ration this? In any case, expect a lot of rich and spicy notes along with a satisfying, though somewhat tame, yerba mate taste. This has an extremely full-bodied flavor, especially with a touch of cream--if I'm skipping br...http://ratetea.com/review/4229/http://ratetea.com/review/4229/Wed, 25 Feb 2015 13:58:03 ESTWith minimal caffeine, this tea wakes me up without the unnecessary kick. You can taste the cinnamon, lemongrass, and orange notes, but the papaya and pineapple fall short (which is fine, since that might make the tea unappealing to me). I typically do not brew this one twice, but the price is decent. Tasting notes: First steep: 1.5tsp/8oz, 200 degrees, 4 minutes. Second steep: 200 degrees, 5 minutes.http://ratetea.com/review/3893/http://ratetea.com/review/3893/Sat, 25 Oct 2014 12:03:55 ESTThe first and second cup of this one were both moderately good, though completely different in flavor. Both were minty and herbaceous, but only the first cup was chocolaty. The bits of chocolate immediately diffused out. After my first sip, I decided to add milk, which improved the cup. The second cup had no chocolate, but the herbaceous flavor was still pretty strong and quite soothing; I might even prefer the second over the first! If you like chocolate teas, this one is certainly worth a try.http://ratetea.com/review/3843/http://ratetea.com/review/3843/Fri, 03 Oct 2014 11:52:33 ESTNot bad, but I'm sure there is better out there. The chocolate, maté, and mint blend well. I do wish they'd used only peppermint and not included the spearmint, but that's just because I'm not crazy about that flavor in general. Also of note is that I definitely felt a caffeine-like heady jolt. So it certainly functions as a morning tea. This was decent as straight tea the first time, but by the second try I became convinced that I shouldn't drink this again. The spearmint is just too strong. Adding...http://ratetea.com/review/3648/http://ratetea.com/review/3648/Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:29:37 ESTMy Morning Maté tastes less like the traditional cup of tea and more like…well, coffee, without the bitterness! The blend contains Mate tea, Rooibos tea, black tea, cocoa kernels, carob bits, chocolate chips, orange peels, almonds, cactus blossoms, coriander, pistachio nuts, cracknel bits, red pepper, cornflowers, safflowers, and sunflower petals. Are you drooling yet? It has a nutty flavor, and initially this made me nervous. I don’t actually like nuts, but they weren’t overwhelming in this ...http://ratetea.com/review/3359/http://ratetea.com/review/3359/Thu, 01 May 2014 20:26:21 ESTThis smells like heaven in a tin, but unfortunately, the flavor isn't quite as good as the aroma. This was brewed for 5 minutes. It smells like chocolate and oranges. The flavor matches the scent, but it just tasted weak. I'm going to try brewing this in a different temperature water, and will also try a cold brew. Then I'll hopefully be updating with a better result.http://ratetea.com/review/3342/http://ratetea.com/review/3342/Mon, 28 Apr 2014 22:32:46 ESTIf I'm drinking a flavored tea, I like to easily discern the advertised favors. I shouldn't need to go hunting for the chocolate in a tea called "Chocolate Rocket". And with this one, there's no search needed. Woo! Chocolate! I even pick up some of the raspberry in the tea description. The smell is amazing, the color of the brewed tea is lovely. This one was steeped for about 5 minutes using water that was just under boiling. It's not the best tea in the world, but it's definitely a sweet tre...http://ratetea.com/review/3272/http://ratetea.com/review/3272/Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:42:13 ESTThere's something immensely comforting to me about the smell of this tea bag, even though I've never tried it before. It reminds me of the modern language building at Franklin and Marshall College, Keiper hall, a place I spent a lot of time as a kid. It also reminds me a little of Celestial Seasonings' Tension Tamer. The aroma is similar, especially with the prevalance of cinnamon. The flavor is very different from any of these blends. Tastes crisper than I'd expect, with a deep earthy and fruity ar...http://ratetea.com/review/3078/http://ratetea.com/review/3078/Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:26:01 ESTThough the instructions say to steep this tea 5-6 minutes, I've found steeping it for 4 produces a more delicate flavor that I prefer. The only distinct aroma I can smell is a light cinnamon scent. It's not an especially complex tea, but it's nice. I remember getting this because I enjoyed their free sample at the store, not realizing that it had been blended with something else. There the taste was more well rounded and sweeter. Also, I've tried this drink cold and found it more enjoyable. I don't k...http://ratetea.com/review/3065/http://ratetea.com/review/3065/Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:57:48 ESTThe aroma is herbaceous, similar to sage but with a sharper quality, with a sweet, fruity aftertone. The aroma is a bit hard to describe, Yerba Mate has a very distinct aroma that is all its own and I have not found anything that it smells like to compare it to. The taste starts quite sweet and fruity but it fades to herbaceous and woody that is a bit strange but not unpleasant. http://ratetea.com/review/2763/http://ratetea.com/review/2763/Wed, 02 Oct 2013 09:55:04 ESTThis tea in frappe or hot with or without milk taste herbal and fruity. The bad is it has an artificial flavor.http://ratetea.com/review/2718/http://ratetea.com/review/2718/Sun, 29 Sep 2013 16:00:12 ESTIt´s a soft tea I do not recommend, It was articial flavoring, with that kill the flavor of the tea. I prefer for 2 reasons: 1- The artificial flavoring isnt the true aroma and flavor of the tea. 2- I look for healing properties of tea or infusion, but if this with artificial flavors, it isnt good and it wasn´t well.http://ratetea.com/review/2714/http://ratetea.com/review/2714/Sun, 29 Sep 2013 15:15:32 ESTI prove this tea and its very strong for the black and mate, and the flavor are good, I take it to the office in a thermo when I tired, Its very good and the spice got a soft taste with the mate and black tea.http://ratetea.com/review/2612/http://ratetea.com/review/2612/Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:15:30 ESTIn college we used to drink this one before art history exams, in hopes that it would make the subject more interesting. It did not, but man does it kick you in the face. Certainly made for some fun times. The flavor is as grassy and clean as you'd expect from a yerba mate, though there's a tinge of orange in the scent. Don't drink it unless you need the energy boost though, because otherwise it will seriously mess you up. Let's just say you're not sleeping for about ten hours after a gourd full of ...http://ratetea.com/review/2554/http://ratetea.com/review/2554/Wed, 17 Jul 2013 15:13:43 ESTServed at Velvet Sky bakery in Jenkintown. I haven't had many Yerba Mate-based "chai" blends, so I don't have much to compare this to. Cinnamon is the dominant tone in the aroma, which I don't like. I actually prefer masala chai without any cinnamon, but whether or not there is cinnamon, I prefer other spices, especially cardamom, to be the dominant spice. This blend includes cardamom, ginger, and clove, as well as the less-traditional ingredient lemongrass, but to be honest I don't notice much of ...http://ratetea.com/review/1927/http://ratetea.com/review/1927/Tue, 07 Aug 2012 09:00:05 ESTMy morning mate has a very smooth, light taste with hints of chocolate. The chocolate flavor is not overpowering, and it is a nice compliment to the nuts in this tea. The only thing I found a bit disappointing is that I wish the flavor would have been stronger. It doesn't have much of a kick taste-wise, but certainly will help get you going in the morning.
