Cost: $36.99/pound at Whole Foods...but before you shriek, a healthy, almost 1/2 cup scoop is only $2, enough for several mugfuls. Also available online for $10.25 or $15 at Mod Coffeehouse in Galveston...36 teabags.
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Herbal/Rooibos
Mix ins: Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and a touch of sugar.
Fragrance: Slightly nutty
Ingredients: Rooibos, roasted yerba mate, natural almond, vanilla, chocolate flavors, sunflower petals and almond bits
Opinion: I saw this at Mod Coffeehouse in Galveston, selling for $15 a can. Which by the time you figure in postage turns out to be close enough to the online website price. So I thought I would look for it in the Houston area. Nope. No luck. But lo and behold when I rounded the aisles of Whole Foods on Kirby, there it was in the loose-leaf version. I picked up a couple of scoops for $2 and tried it. I'm going back to Mod to buy the canister! This is good! I didn't really taste the chocolate. It was just very smooth and nutty-creamy. It almost tasted like marshmallow. The extra boost from the yerba mate is appreciated, too. I thought it tasted best with Silk's Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and just a touch of sugar.
