spiced mate

type: herbal

origin: argentina

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Brazilian toasted mate blended with spices and citrus peels to add a little zest to an energizing brew. We find it perfect for chilly days, by the fire or iced with milk and sugar for when you crave a sweet treat. Please note that all Mate varieties contains caffeine; we would not suggest it as a nightcap. Steep at 150°F for 3-5 minutes

      Lovely, spicy and woodsy flavor. I wish I could still drink this tea, but I had to lay off mate. This one was one of my favs though! The spice blends so well with the flavor of mate.

      There was a pleasant roasted and cinnamon smell from the dry tisane. 3 min @ 150. Not a nice flavor to my taste buds. I didn't get any cinnamon or spice, just the mate that I now know I don't like the taste of. I only had a couple sips before pouring it all out. Too much caffeine to drink it when I don't enjoy it.

      Avery nice toasted mate, the cinnamon, ginger, and orange add a nice spice with a little citrus kick, fantastic blend

      What a fun way to get you up in the morning with a powerhouse wake up tea. I love the toasted and spices that taste great with or with milk but for me the tea needs a bit of honey or sweetener.

      There's a very weird sweaty feet smell akin to valerian that I just can't get behind. I thought the spices would mask it, but I truly couldn't drink this and I'm surprised at how many people love it. Maybe mate is really just an acquired taste.

      Excellent tea, and one of my favorites for autumn tea drinking.

      I really enjoyed this tea over several steeps. The third one didn’t taste as good. I steeped at 150 degrees for 5 or 3 minutes and added honey to each cup.

      Toasty, smoky, and earthy flavors, mingled with mild spice and just a hint of citrus. I did not get any cocoa vibes from this tea.

      Warm and toasty tasting with warming winter spices. The orange was subtle.

      Spicy and orangey! It reminds me of constant comment tea only way more caffeinated and less bitter.

      Honestly it’s okayish? The smell is kinda off putting tbh. Taste wise is weird. Kinda a mix of sweet and spicy but with a hint of citrus.

      This is delicious. Watch the appropriate temperature. This is almost chocolate like in undertones with the citrus.

      I like my mate with a bit of rock sugar. With this, i added sugar and it really helped the spices shine. Good blend.

      The flavor is halfway between coffee and tea. I really enjoy the spice, perfect warm flavors for a cold morning.

      I feel like this tea was a strange combination of bubblegum and spice drops. I also don't think the mate was able to contribute much flavor due to the heavy spices.

      One of my all-time favorite teas! It's a comfortable mid-point between the scents and smells of Christmas and my favorite bagged tea, Constant Comment. One of my favorite Adagio teas!

      A very strong spicy tea. This will get you alert in the morning.

      They aren't joking when they say this is spicy. Its a little too intense for me. Nice flavor though

    • 

      Strongly spicy and zesty with the kick of mate. A solid go-to.
