WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS Natural Instant Yerba Mate Tea, 2.82 Oz (Pack 1)

Excellent quality, been using this tea for a year now. Usually having about 3 litres of tea a day, 1 container lasts about a month. Easy to store and carry around, easy to make, tastes great. Having lived in Brazil, and tasted chimarrão and mate tea, I can tell this product is mate tea.

I don't like warm beverages, so I try to brew and drink things cold. I also like caffeine. So my drink reviews are based around these two axes, as well as flavor. Wisdom of the Ancients Instant Yerba Mate Tea - Brewed Cold: Brew Method (Five out of Five): I take about a half a tablespoon of the powder (that's about six servings, IE 160 some odd mgs of caffeine), drop it in a mason jar, and add water. It froths up a lot, no idea why, so waiting for that to go down before getting to fill it all the way is part of the process. If you compare this to the methods I use to coldbrew guayusa, this is absolutely nothing. Subjective Caffeine Experience (Three out of Five, if Coffee is a One): The energy I get off of this feels cleaner than coffee (IE, less of a sharp reduction in effectiveness and less suddenly tired). It definitely has that 'all my atoms are rattling' feeling you can get off of coffee, but with less of the fried brain feeling (although it still happens). There is a more noticeable comedown than with guayusa, but definitely less so than coffee. I try to sip throughout the day, but sometimes I end up with a half-jar or so by 5pm. If I drink that, I will struggle to sleep, which isn't true for guayusa. Flavor (Five out of Five): Mild, very much like green sun-tea to me, and less of that 'gasoline' smell and taste I associate with hot brewed dry leaf yerba mate. I don't add anything to this and sip it throughout the day (and as I'm writing this, even). I even like the taste more than cold-brewed yerba mate, though I couldn't tell you why. Still not as nice as some brands of guayusa. Also goes just fine in smoothies without messing up flavor to add a little morning energy. Summary - Four and a Half out of Five. I'll round up because it's still a lot better than coffee and it's lasting a long time for the price. Mild taste, not as great as some guayusa, and you have to be careful not to drink it too late, but the convenience easily makes up for this.

Great taste and easy to serve! The product itself taste great even though it's powder. I am taking it to work everyday. The flavor is fresh, and only small amount is enough for each time, so it's great value!

⭐️This instant Yerba Mate powder is perfect for a quick energy boost without the sugar crash. It provides great mental and physical energy without the jitters some other caffeinated products cause. I use it both hot and iced, and it blends smoothly every time. Non-GMO and unsweetened, it's a versatile staple in my beverage rotation.

This tea is amazing, I love it! It makes me feel very good and alert but naturally so, unlike the jitters you get with coffee. Also very good for controlling your appetite if you are watching your weight.
