Mate Factor Organic Yerba Mate, Original Fresh Green, 12 Ounce

Big loose green tea drinker. Read about Yerba Mate and this is a good organic supplier. The tea had a very soothing slighty spaced out effect to my senses (and no I do not smoke or take any kinda of contraband). So just bear this in mind if you are a first time drinker. Excellent with dried mint and honey. Slightly grassy green tea taste.

Everything Ok!

I know that mate is meant to have a number of health benefits, but only if you can drink it of course. I made it the traditional way in a gourd, sucking through a "bombilla". However, the taste was horrible, like grass (ie from the lawn, nothing stronger but still undrinkable to my mind. Best to try one of the tea bag type preparations first I would say, before going for the full mate kit.
