I been wanting to try yerba mate for a long time, but i've always been afraid its going to taste like kava. With the mention of ash and dirt taste, i'm guessing they taste alike? That shit is gross... but nice.

I might try that blueberry yerba mate though.

It definitely gave me a buzz sort of like caffeine, except more relaxed. I also drank A LOT of it.

The taste does take some getting used to, although, they have some good flavors now to cover up the bitterness.
I was promised this stuff was going to keep me going much like tea, was going to help suppress my appetite for weight lose, and that the taste wasn't THAT bad. Well....

a) never gave me a "buzz"

b) it never "curbed" my appetite

c) it tasted like pure assness

I was on this stuff for over a month, and it showed no benefits to me. And yes, i DID have an open mind going in....and still, nothing. I am disappoint.

i dont get a "buzz" from it. but i like having some when i wake up in the morning and when i get home from work/school. i like the taste too. do you guys get an intense boost when you drink it? like feel like doing back flips and shit? maybe i never drink enough. i drink one full canteen of water worth like one of these each sitting:

how about yall?

gotta say though the market by my house just got orange and lemon flavored yerba (cruz de malta) so i decided to give the orange flavor a try and it tastes like shit. if youve ever ate orange peel it tastes like that. i dont recommend. i just like regular flavored
