Mate tea - Wed 28th May 2008
I started drinking this tea several years ago because I found that drinking caffeinated beverages gave me migraines - this was the only drink that I felt really replaced tea for me. I really enjoy it and I no longer get many colds and the 1 or maybe 2 I get each year last only a few days and are not severe enough to take time off work. I would recommend it to anyone - it may take a little while to become accustomed to the taste.

delicious! - Mon 26th Sep 2011
I was surprised that this mate wasn't dusty as mate usually is, but it is still delicious. And the lack of dust means you can make it in a tea strainer and not just in a cafetiere or in a gourd (with a bombilla).
For the record, I think 8 or 9 teaspoons per 8-cup cafetiere (you know, the kind that make about 2-3 mugs' worth, but are still called 8-cup or some reason) is a good strength. I also like mine with a splash or two of soya milk sometimes (put the soya milk into the mug before pouring the mate to avoid curdling).

Tips

Fro the best brew - Mon 2nd May 2011
It is best to leave the mate leaves in your cup, and locals in South AMerica drink mate tea with a bombilla -a special type of straw fitted with a mini sieve at its base, so as to enjoy the best of brews.
