Mate is just one of those flavors I have a hard time getting behind, so I was definitely okay with not being able to taste it in this cup.
The cocoa is more of a scent than a present flavor, but the licorice root is just enough to make it deceptively sweet, so if you close your eyes you can definitely imagine the flavor. The blend of peppermint and spearmint adds an element of depth without being overpowering.
All the pick me up of mate without the mate taste. Count me in!
