I bought a packet of it once. Really wanted to like it, but found it disgusting. The only way I can describe it is that it left a taste in my mouth like the smell of stale ashtrays suggests they would taste like.
I'm quite prepared to believe that either the stuff I bought was crap, or my preparation of it was flawed. Because surely a whole continent can't be wrong?
- alamortsubite 4y agoA "packet" is definitely not the way to go about preparing a good mate, but it's also very much an acquired taste. Once you've gotten past your initial reaction, the flavor profile of various yerbas is really remarkable. Unfortunately, that can take a while. In cultures where it's consumed, everyone is constantly exposed to it, so the progression is somewhat inevitable.
