carol who drank MateVana by Teavana

467 tasting notes

Oh yummilious!!! I added a tablespoon of Quest protein powder (Vanilla Milkshake flavor) to my MateVana because I was feeling like I hadn’t had enough protein this afternoon and I had a lot of stuff to get done. The results are superb! It has the richness of a creamy hot chocolate but also the tea flavor.

I used an immersion blender to make sure it was well blended and I am very pleased with the results.

I think this would work well on any of those teas where we often add milk. I’m so excited!!

By the way … on the continuing quest for weight control … I’ve lost 65lbs. and have kept it off for two years now. As everyone always says, keeping it off is just as hard as loosing it. I continue to drink about 9 cups of tea a day. It’s working for me.

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
