Full bodied and smooth. The roasted character imparts a coffee-like toast flavor, aided by the addition of coffee beans. Rich in mateine, which like caffeine is recognized as a stimulant. In fact many people find that they are more stimulated drinking mate then coffee, but without the jittery after effects associated with coffee.
If your trying to quit drinking coffee, but find teas effects too subtle, mate is worth a try.
Roasted mate, rooibos, broken coffee beans, sunflower, blue mallow flower, marigold, and cornflower
best mate
Coming from a mate and coffee lover... this is, quite possibly, my dream tea. Excellent blend... and coupled with Ying Ming Yunnan it arguably makes the best tea shot.
