Tea: Club-Mate
Type: Mate Tisane (Tea is technically only from the camellia sinensis plant)
Packaging: Bottled
Company: Brauerei Loscher KG
Purchase: Here
Description: One gets used to it!
Ingredients: carbonated water, glucose-fructose syrup, sugar, yerba mate extract (0.4%), citric acid, caffeine, natural flavors, and caramel color.

Tasting Notes:
Steeped Tea Smell: honey and green mate
Flavor: bubbly, fizzy, acidic, fermented honey
Body: Full

I think it tastes better hot than cold (left it in the car in the summer).

Got this drink at "The last hope" and "The next hope" and on various visits to NYC Resistor.

At first I wasn't happy about it, but I needed the caffeine for the convention, and it is true you get used to it. I drink it for the caffeine and for the memories.

Rating: 2/4 leaves


Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free
2=Acceptable, if it were free or there were limited other tea options
3=I might purchase this tea from time to time, or select it while out
4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
