Tea, Yerba Mate & Cold Weather
Cool weather has finally struck the Carolinas. Cooling off doesn't mean no more coffee in the morning - it just means:
TEA AND YERBA MATE IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS!!!! (woo hoo) I broke out the teapot and the neat tea mugs with lids this weekend. Darjeeling leaves are all over the counter and the mate is lined up for a sipping Sunday kind of thing. Special thanks to Seangar and MithShrike for teaching me the joys of green teas and yerba mate. You be tea?

Lapsong Suchong is my cup o tea. Yerba Mate nice and nutty. I'm a loose tea drinker, usually get my stuff from UPTONs in MA.
I have been using a chai mix with vaniolla soy that just rocks! Tom |

Re: Tea, Yerba Mate & Cold Weather
I was surprised how much I grew to like mate after just a few cups. I lean to a small amount of honey in mine.

Re: Tea, Yerba Mate & Cold Weather
So Matt, care to give a brief overview for those of us that aren't well-educated in the ways of Yerba Mate? I understand it's tea-like.. but to what degree? Do you need the gourd? Can you steep it like regular tea and enjoy it as such?

Re: Tea, Yerba Mate & Cold Weather
Oh yeah - the tea is on every night in the winter at the Moo place. We just finished up a long run of chinese green teas and, right now, we're drinking some very nice black tea (Assam and Golden Monkey) with a little chocolate/chili (very zingy) black tea mixed in.
