Gift from a co-worker who tried the Yerba Mate and found it to have too much caffeine. I enjoy being the crazy tea lady of the office.
So far I find mate to taste very much like a green tea.

Hooray for being the crazy tea lady of the office!
much better to drink homeless tea than to find home for kittens!
(speaking of cats, omg mom just got a new adopted 8 year old black Halloween cat, so pretty!)
Good for her. I’m always happy when I hear about black cats getting adopted because they are the least adoptable of all colors. Same with older kitties, too.
