Just got my package and have been out a couple days and was jonesing for some clean caffeine, so I made a batch and WOW, what a wonderful flavor compared to the many others I have tried. A little honey and some coconut milk and this AIP dieter is in Heaven! Now for the bad part. Do not buy from this seller as these guys took forever to send it, hence there reason I ran out.This is my first Yerba mate loose leafs tea. I was scared that it would be bitter. I have been brewing it cold and it’s so refreshing during this hot summer. I haven’t try to brew it hot yet. I usually put honey and some slices peaches in there for some flavors. It’s perfect for first time drinkers! The only thing is that the package low key sucks.PerfectI bought this brand because I read that it was milder and sweeter than other bands. Good for the new mate drinker. It's true. Cruz de Mate is nowhere near as bitter than what I've been drinking. I can't say that it's delicious. It still tastes like I'm drinking the front lawn during a drought but in hoping that it grows on me. Unlike the other brands I've tasted I don't feel the need to add a cup of sugar just to choke it down. My goal is to drink it everyday for two weeks to see if my feelings change. This is day one and so far so good.NO COMMENTI have been purchasing different yerba mate and all have been great but this one has such a smooth flavor that I couldn't stop drinking. I found my Qi!!LOVE ITTry it you won’t regret it:)A good, quality package of yerba. Nice flavor.
