Product Description

Product Description

This organic duet of green tea and mate is the twinkle behind the Buddha's smile. Naturally caffeinated. Energy - Want some? What puts the zip in Mate? Mateine: a wholly different kind of boost than caffeine. While caffeine makes you want to hurt the cat, mateine's energy is pleasant, controlled and non-addictive. Traditionally, Mate has been used to enhance sleep and calm nerves while gently arousing a depressed nervous system. The people of the rain forest believe it burns calories, boosts metabolism, and can keep blood pressure in a more blissful state. Most people feel more alert, more at ease and more capable of conquering the world. (So when you win a genius grant, all we ask is that you remember us in you acceptance speech.) Two health-conscious amigos in Boulder discovered the newest old beverage and launched the sacred sip that gives the buzz of coffee a blush of shame. They mingled the mystery of mate with the juice of cheeky and a squeeze of sass, and called it Pixie Mate. It will float your soul on the wings of a softer buzz and beat the bushes for body-happy antioxidants. The Bad Guy--Free Radicals vs Antioxidants--The Good Guys. Free radicals are trouble makers. These unstable molecules enter your body just looking for a fight. They wreak havoc on cells and have been implicated in all kinds of crimes against you health like arthritis, premature aging, cataracts--even heart disease and cancers. Antioxidants are the sheriff whose job is to keep those delinquent free radicals on the run. But the sheriff needs your help. Once you’re of voting age, your body slacks off of producing enough antioxidants to keep all the outlaws at bay. Luckily mate is one of the best sources of antioxidants you can find anywhere. So grab a cup and support your local sheriff. Antioxidants per serving: Broccoli (400-800); Tomato Juice (550-900); Orange Juice (650-1100); Green Tea Mate (2800). As measured by Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC). Pixie Mate is not meant to be a substitute for fruits and vegetables, which are an important part of your diet. What is Mate and why the buzz? Mate is the gentle hum of an awakened mind and a vibrant body. It is energy that's balanced, no frantic. The people of the South American rain forest discovered the magic before we did. From their treasured green leaves emerged the tea that sings the body electric. With a llama-load of antioxidants, mate trickles grinning into your system. It won't leave you drooping or demand addiction. USDA Organic. Pixie Mate is third-party certified organic by QAI. Drink deep. Your safe here. Pixie Mate--Take flight.

I love this tea. It has been an excellent segue from my coffee addiction into the healthier world of tea. I like its taste - not too bitter in my opinion. It has good health benefits, as well. I find myself with clearer thinking, more energy, and more even-keeled moods since drinking this tea on the regular. Enjoy!

I love this in the mornings; it is less acidic than coffee and gets my day off with a gentle lift. I love the added health benefit of green tea. I have even managed to getting some of my guest who are coffee addicts to enjoy a cup. They rave about its non-bitter taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Find it Bitter, November 11, 2008

I just made two cups of this tea after finding it at the grocery store. I tried boiling and then hot steaming water to see if it there was a taste difference. Yuck! it was bitter to me and I did not care for the taste at all. I threw out the first boiled cup and drank the second since I did not want to waste more. I still gave it 4 stars since it gave me a bit of an energy boost and is full of antioxidants. I am not really a big tea drinker, but I know bitter when I taste it and this definitely bitter and not very pleasant tasting. This might not be the case for everyone and maybe it is the green tea part, either way I will continue looking for a good tasting green tea.
