My Morning Maté

Name: My Morning Maté


Brand: Teavana


Primary Type: Maté


Dry Scent: This is a complex scent, including earthy coffee scents, sharp orange peel and musty green maté. There is definitely a "breakfast" sort of smell to it.


Steeping Time: 5-6 min


Steeped Flavour: The most predominent flavour here is a coffee-like smooth bitterness, which is mellowed by the sharpness of the orange peel and the deep flavours of the maté. Not bad, as "coffee replacements" go, overall.


Food/Drink Pairings: Breakfast! This is most definitely a first thing in the morning tea, and would cut nicely through toast and peanut butter, or accompany a bowl of cereal very well. It could even go nicely with pancakes!


Rating out of Six Tails:
4.5/6
