Thank you so much to this company for the samples!

I brewed both hot and cold with same amount (1/2 tsp)

Hot – 212F and stirred in a 6oz glass – This brew has a strong wood tone. This dry wood flavor is quickly replaced with a sweet syrupy sugar cane aftertaste. It was a very delectable brew. The bottom had to be stirred though; because, all the debris would settle.

Cold – Ice water in a 6 oz glass – This was delicious! The brew would clump a lot though, but it just took some extra stirring to prevent it. The flavor is completely sweet with a slight dry grass undertone. This would be perfect for mixed drinks or cold cocktails. I drank this down very quickly. The last sip though had a very dusty and dry taste, for everything had settled to the bottom.

Both – All in all, this was a very enjoyable tea session. When preparing this brew, you will get a very sweet yet grassy herbaceous beverage. Personally, I prefer it cold, and I would love to mix this with some other things. They both settle to the bottom, and it makes for a rather dirty last sip. The last sip is still very sweet though. I enjoyed this very much!

Thank you for the samples, Will!

Hot-brewed (1): 1/2 teaspoon, 6 ounces, 212 degrees.
Cold-brewed (2): 1/2 teaspoon, 6 oz, mixed right away.

1: The licorice root stands, and it adds a sweetness that dominates the the yerba mate.

2: No one ingredient stands out in this cup. They blend well together. This tastes leafier, and it’s much sweeter than it was hot-brewed, although in leafy way. The texture is much thicker.

The murky beige color isn’t terribly appealing, but it didn’t put me off. I preferred drinking this cold-brewed. Also, I felt an energized after downing all twelve ounces nearly all at once. If you want something to drink before exercising, go for this.
