Thursday Tea Time




Cost: $5.99 on sale (!) at Super Target

Number of teabags: 16

Caffeine: Yes, the box says as much as 1/4 cup of coffee

Type of tea: Yerba Mate

Steeping time: 5-10 minutes, I did 5

Mix ins: Just a little fat-free condensed milk

Teabag fragrance: Nothing distinguishable.

Ingredients: Yerba mate, cocoa, nutmeg, cinnamon, stevia, clove - and a trio of stimulants - caffeine, theobromine and theophylline.

Opinion: With all the dancing around this box did with the wonderful things this could do for your body, something gave me a migraine a couple hours later. I didn't taste any one flavor in particular, in fact I thought it kind of blah. I couldn't even taste the "Chocolatte'"! Not worth the hype nor the money.
