I ordered a couple bags of roasted matte & was just short of the $50 free shipping so the Shipper added a 2 pack Energy Shot to put me over so I received a product for the shipping costs. Very considerate of her!

I actually purchased a large bag of Roasted in my local store by accident. I thought I was buying a bag of Ache's Pride (mmm) and missed the little "Roasted" sticker on the front. Upon opening, it was quickly apparent this wasn't my usual Mate. It has a medium brown color, and is ground very fine (no stems) almost like coffee. It smelled good though, and I thought I'd give it a whirl in my french press. At first sip, I did not like it - it was not my usual cup of green goodness! The next day I was ready to return it to the store, and I decided to give it one more try. So very different from my usual Mate, but it started to intrigue me. A more "nutty" flavor, kind of caramel mixed with chicory, but with all the good Mate vibe. Four more days have passed, and I am now very much enjoying this Roasted Mate. Be warned - it is very different from the traditional Guayaki Mate, but is a welcome diversion worthy of exploring.

I LOVE this tea! Guayaki tea's are great, however, this is my new favorite. It taste very similar to coffee, only better. Thanks Guayaki for producing exceptional teas! Amy R Armstrong

I love the roasted Guayaki yerba mate! My favorite way to drink it is brewed extra strong, with a little raw sugar and half and half, and it tastes a lot like thai tea to me that way! Such a nice mellow nutty richness to it.

This mate reminded me a lot of my first taste of Guayaki (back when I don't remember having more than one blend/roast). First sip, I didn't care for it. Second sip, kinda growing on me. Third sip, really enjoying the robust and unique taste. I think it tastes closer to coffee than the Dark Roast/Vanilla Nut/Maca blends, but still has the lightness of tea. I drink mine Latte style with a bit of milk or coconut creamer and sugar (or xylitol if available).

I can't rave enough about the Roasted Mate. Not only is it smooth, but it is also full of flavor. Good hot and cold, it is delicious to the taste. I combine in my French Press a pinch of peppermint and spearmint and the flavors compliment each other. One of my favorites.
