Yesterday afternoon tea. Maté with lime flavour sounds indeed very interesting!
And smells great! Lime aroma was quite genuine with some bitter and herbal undertone.
In taste it was quite bitter, but for me who isn’t much experienced with Maté… it was surprising. But not in a bad way. Lime juiciness and other citrus notes were complementing the flavour of maté well and it was nice experience. Nothing to have necessary in my cupboard as a must have tea, but keeping a few bags, why not?
And as we have a new month here again, stats time for May!

I have drank 41 loose leaf teas, the rest was bagged.
I wrote only 20 tasting notes here in May! And sipped down 4 teas.
Those numbers are interesting as I used to write here much more — but apparently I was
more purposive than usual I am. As of sipdowns, I blame that I wasn’t caring too much about the teas I have there and rather trying the new ones too.
