Sipdown! It felt like it took forever to finish this one, as even though it’s only a 20g pouch, the tea is so fluffy and light that it was neverending, ha ha. Not that I’m complaining, I do like this one, and if anything it grew on me even more as I sipped it down.
This has a lovely sweet and mellow herbaceous lemon flavor from the lemongrass and verbena. The ginger is present but fairly tame, adding a nice warmth and a little kick at the end of the sip. The maté has a soft and earthy herbal flavor that blends in perfectly with the herbs. There’s an almost minty quality to it from the verbena as well.
Very tasty. I’m torn on whether I would reorder this, though, because the flavors are so relaxing and would be perfect for bedtime, yet it has yerba maté in it… This isn’t really a flavor profile that I would seek out in the morning, so I suppose it would work for afternoon? Hmm, more consideration is required…

I like the effects of mate; not quite as enthusiastic about its flavor. I’m thinking a little lemon and ginger would tone it down nicely.
I don’t seem to be very affected by caffeine so I don’t ever notice the difference versus other teas. I do like the taste though, both green and roasted. :)
