To me mate tastes like making a brew out of the contents of an ashtray.

  I've tried it once. It tasted like ashtray and didn't help with focus, instead I've felt agitated and unreal. Even filtering in aeropress didn't help with that taste.

    How did you prepare it in the first place?

      In aeropress and in another occasion by avid yerba drinker.

    If you're a soda drinker and ever in Germany, try a Club Mate. :-)

      When I go to mate.de, the page says “Forbidden.”

  It's an acquired taste, like wine, beer or coffee. But that shouldn't stop you from trying to find a blend that better suits your taste. I prefer softer brands mixed with a bit of mint. I think adding sugar is disgusting, if you really need to add a small amount of honey. If it tastes like ashtray possibly the water was too hot.
