I don't like warm beverages, so I try to brew and drink things cold. I also like caffeine. So my drink reviews are based around these two axes, as well as flavor. Wisdom of the Ancients Instant Yerba Mate Tea - Brewed Cold: Brew Method (Five out of Five): I take about a half a tablespoon of the powder (that's about six servings, IE 160 some odd mgs of caffeine), drop it in a mason jar, and add water. It froths up a lot, no idea why, so waiting for that to go down before getting to fill it all the way is part of the process. If you compare this to the methods I use to coldbrew guayusa, this is absolutely nothing. Subjective Caffeine Experience (Three out of Five, if Coffee is a One): The energy I get off of this feels cleaner than coffee (IE, less of a sharp reduction in effectiveness and less suddenly tired). It definitely has that 'all my atoms are rattling' feeling you can get off of coffee, but with less of the fried brain feeling (although it still happens). There is a more noticeable comedown than with guayusa, but definitely less so than coffee. I try to sip throughout the day, but sometimes I end up with a half-jar or so by 5pm. If I drink that, I will struggle to sleep, which isn't true for guayusa. Flavor (Five out of Five): Mild, very much like green sun-tea to me, and less of that 'gasoline' smell and taste I associate with hot brewed dry leaf yerba mate. I don't add anything to this and sip it throughout the day (and as I'm writing this, even). I even like the taste more than cold-brewed yerba mate, though I couldn't tell you why. Still not as nice as some brands of guayusa. Also goes just fine in smoothies without messing up flavor to add a little morning energy. Summary - Four and a Half out of Five. I'll round up because it's still a lot better than coffee and it's lasting a long time for the price. Mild taste, not as great as some guayusa, and you have to be careful not to drink it too late, but the convenience easily makes up for this.

Great taste and easy to serve! The product itself taste great even though it's powder. I am taking it to work everyday. The flavor is fresh, and only small amount is enough for each time, so it's great value!

The powder mixes easily in hot or cold water and so it's an "all season" product. If you like plain tea, you will like this. It's unsweetened and so you may want to add a sweetening product but I like it "as is."

I can only say that it is delicious, I drink it with and without milk. I would definitely buy it again and recommend as well..

I’m SO glad I found this instant Yerba Mate! I’ve spent so much money on Guayaki brand that is so hard to even find Unsweetened and in the glass bottles anywhere, and when you do find it, it’s cost prohibitive & bulky. I travel continually so this tea makes me so happy as it tastes good enough to replace the other. I just reuse a Guayaki glass bottle refilling with room temp water, put in 1/2 tsp (it does require a little more than directions say), shake it up & let it settle, top off the bottle with water and throw 2 of them in the ice chest. It gets me going in the AM when I’m trying to reduce coffee, or gives me an afternoon pickup without the cortisol spike. But be careful, there is plenty of caffeine and it will still spike you. But Yerba Mate is great for digestion so makes a good pickup after lunch I like the bottle for travel and the lid is very easy to get off & on. Maybe they could put a little snap top opening tho to make it even easier.
