Gamer Tea - Yerba Mate

Having grown up where yerba mate originates from I've always been kind of a snob about anything mate related. I reccomend to anyone who has never had mate to let it in boiling water for about 10/15 minutes and then in a cup mix it with some milk with about a 60/40 tea/milk ratio, add some honey and voila you have a traditional Paraguayan cocido

I was nervous at first to try it because I heard it can be a controversial flavor but I found it very good! Though I'd recommend going a little beyond the length of steeping recommended by the box for 10oz, maybe 10min instead of 6min. I found the flavor familiar to teas such as green tea but with more zest (partially from the added lemon). It paired great with a little stevia too! My only two complaints is it seems pretty pricey for tea, being ~$0.93 per bag and also the size of the packets holding the tea bags. They are quite large compared to the tea, and it feels like a waste throwing them. Making these recyclable or smaller may be more expensive on their side though and I wouldn't want the cost to go up. I wish there was some sort of bulk bundle to bring the cost per bag down so I could stock up on them! I'll definitely look intro trying all of the other teas!

I really do like this tea, i do hope they get more in stock as thats the only issue is having to wait for more. but i need more

As far as Yerba Maté with lemon goes, nothing beats the traditional; however, many of us just don't have time for that, so the convenience of tea packets is always a bonus. That being said, the waifu box is the reason to pay the high price of this one. The taste is pretty natural, and it's good tea. Mild compared to the original so if you're starting your Yerba Maté experience, this one is a good starter kit.

There's a slightly tangy aftertaste, but I personally couldn't really find any lemon notes specifically while drinking. That I don't have as much of a problem with, it's more so this plastic/rubber like undertone I taste that bothers me a little, but it's still mostly a pretty decent tasting herbal tea.
