Name: Citrus Mate<\/a><\/p>\n Type: Herbal<\/p>\n Region: Brazil<\/p>\n Bought At: Adagio.com<\/a><\/p>\n Price: $2 for a ten cup sample<\/p>\n First Impressions:Very sweet smelling, a variety of citrus flavors<\/p>\n Review:<\/p>\n My\u00a0 first flavored “mate” tea, I had high expectations for Citrus Mate as citrus teas have typically been among my favorites(Citron Green<\/a>).\u00a0 having said that, I was a little disappointed in citrus mate.\u00a0 It isn’t bad, but the citrus flavor is much weaker than expected.\u00a0 The typical dark, earthy tones of mate are a little overpowering.\u00a0 I guess it has more to do with my expectations, but it still just isn’t as good as I was expecting.\u00a0 Having complained about that enough, it is a decent tea, especially if you are\u00a0 a mate fan.\u00a0 The citrus does take some of the edge off of the mate flavor, just not enough for me!<\/p>\n My Rating:<\/p>\n 2.5 \/ 5<\/p>\n
