When I first opened the sample packet it smell of rolled oats. After brewing it the smell of oats intensified but with the added grassiness. When tasting it I get the grassiness wright off the bat followed by the oatmeal taste. The licorice root follows soon after with a bit of sweetness. This is an acquired taste for sure. I would not mind drinking this with a hot muffin or scone. In the past I have always had a lemon or berry variation of yerba mate. It was nice to go old school with almost nothing added to it, just straight.
I will say that it gave me a nice shot of energy.
