Lindsay drank Fresh Green Yerba Mate by Mate Factor

350 tasting notes

This is a very green-tasting tea, so I guess it’s well named. :) I’m working through my Mate Factor Variety Pack, and this is just the plain green mate with no other stuff. I like it! I just put a bag in a normal 8oz mug, added boiling water, steeped for 5min but left the bag in while drinking it. Very low-tech, lol. I’ve done two steepings, and the second is still pretty flavourful.

Flavors: Green

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 3 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
