Matévana

Name:  Matévana


Brand: Teavana


Primary Type:  Maté


Dry Scent:  Dark and chocolatey, with musty hints from the maté and rich, almondy notes as well.  Very appetizing and makes me think of high-quality chocolates or a chocolate shop.


Steeping Time: 5-6 min


Steeped Flavour:  Very tasty and chocolatey although a little rough on the tongue as far as mouthfeel goes...better with a little bailey's or Godiva added in.  The maté provides a dark base note and the almonds add some richness as well.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is good with cookies and also with biscotti - anything that would go well with coffee.  It's wonderful at breakfast time and also a very tasty way to keep yourself going if you have to stay up to work on something.
