Price: $2 for a ten cup sample<\/p>\n

First Impressions: Leaves are more processed\/chopped up.\u00a0 Smells somewhat grassy, but earthy too.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

I bought the Adagio Mate Sampler on a bit of a whim.\u00a0 I’ve heard the name “yerba mate” tea a lot, but don’t know a lot about it.\u00a0 It turns out mate is not true ‘tea’ at all, actually a herbal brew that originates from South America.\u00a0 Having said that, I started with the one I had heard mentioned the most: Yerba Mate.\u00a0\u00a0 Once brewed the smell takes on a strong, almost bitter scent.\u00a0 The flavor is interesting, stronger than most teas, but still pleasant.\u00a0 It has very earthy flavors, but sets itself apart from black tea in that it finishes with a hint of mild sweetness.\u00a0 Overall I liked it, and look forward to trying the rest of the mate samples.<\/p>\n

My Rating:<\/p>\n

3.5 \/ 5<\/p>\n
