Cost: $6.49 at Whole Foods
Number of teabags: 16, individually-wrapped
Caffeine: Yes, 20 mg/serving - 1/4 cup of coffee equivalent
Type of tea: Herbal
Ingredients: All organic - Yerba mate, peppermint leaf, spearmint leaf and stevia leaf.
Steeping time: I need to check the water temperature of the Keurig, I noticed on the box it says not to drink mate over 150 F. I don't know if that means the water brewing temperature or letting it cool down to 150. Which wouldn't really be a problem since I get to doing other things and get distracted from my tea on the counter.
Add ins: Perfect without any.
Fragrance: Like a peppermint version of Morning Thunder. A little earthy.
Opinion: I like Trader Joe's Yerba Mate. But what this has going for it is the mint flavor, which has a pleasant warming effect. You feel it in a few seconds after sipping right in your upper chest. This might be nice to drink when you have a cold and need a little decongesting and to get your health back on track. And it doesn't keep me up at night. I place it safe, however and only drink it in the morning - or early afternoon if I need a boost and it's going to be a long day.
