Best tea I have ever had the pleasure of drinking!, October 9, 2007
This review is from: Mate Chocolatte Tea Bags (Misc.)
As someone who's most awake between the hours of 7 at night and 3 in the morning, I've always used tea instead of coffee to wake up. I've tried a variety of european & asian teas, both black and green, but I must say that this is the best.
In terms of taste, this one can't be beaten. In addition to the cocoa flavoring,there are also hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia, and clove. Above all, I am unable to taste any hint of bitterness, so this tea slides right down the hatch.
Psychopharmacologically, Yerba Mate is superior to regular teas. I'm a caffein sensitive person, so a single cup of tea can carry me for about six hours. There are tons of xanthines and other psychoactive chemicals in Yerba Mate, and the 'high' obtained is significantly different from any other caffeinated beverages I've had.
One cup of the stuff makes me feel really focused, but very clear and free of the extra thoughts that are usually bouncing around my mind. I've also noticed that it elevates my mood slightly, though that could just be a placebo effect.
Essentially, this tea tastes good & will make you feel great.

Delicious blend of Yerba Mate with spices and sweets, November 26, 2007
This review is from: Mate Chocolatte Tea Bags (Misc.)
I've been a fan of Yerba Mate tea for somewhere in the vicinity of 17 or 18 years and have always had to drink it with a lot of honey to get around the odd after-taste it tends to leave in one's mouth. This Mate Chocolatte tea solves that problem with its blend of yummy spices (nutmeg, cinnamon and clove) and sweetening agents (cocoa and Stevia). Stevia is one powerful sweetener, so there's no need to sweeten this tea at ALL! All ingredients are fully organic, so you're doing your body good by drinking it.
Yerba Mate is great for energy, also (one of the reasons I've been a fan for so long!) since it is naturally caffeinated, plus it helps to rid your body of accumulated toxins while providing you with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Perfect! If you're looking for a healthy alternative to your morning cuppa joe, this stuff is for you!

Enjoyable, April 23, 2004
This review is from: Mate Chocolatte Tea Bags (Misc.)
Mind you, this is my first excursion into the Yerba Mate world so I have nothing to compare it against, but I am quite happy with this product. It tasts good hot (especially with a little honey and some frothed soy milk like the comapny's website suggests) and I love throwing a bag into my water bottle. It steeps cold, so I can just toss one in and I have flavored beverage to enjoy during my day.
