Aviva Ambrosia Yerba Mate Tea Review

I usually don’t do any tea reviews at night except for herbal and rooibos teas, because caffeine even in small doses keeps me up at night! Today is the last Aviva “instant” yerba mate drink I am going to review. Tomorrow I will be reviewing their loose yerba mate, so stay tuned!

The Aviva Ambrosia yerba mate tea contains wild harvest grown yerba mate, black tea and fruit flavoring. The liquor was a medium to dark brown, with a green undertone. The tea smelt of their classic yerba mate flavours – clean, light, woodsy and slightly sweet. The black tea and the yerba mate worked well to create this energy elixir. Only after a few sips I could feel the caffeine kicking in. This tea reminds me of a mild chicory root tea. I couldn’t taste any of the fruit flavorings though.

Overall, after this whole Aviva yerba mate tea week, I have to say their instant teas are good for value. $18 for 207-214 teabags right now, which works out to about 8-9 cents a teabag. They’re good to brew for energy and caffeine when you need it. However, if you are looking for a gourmet high end yerba mate blended tea then this isn’t it. Yerba mate as I mentioned is a high tea to create a blend with because it’s so strong, you would need to only use a very little bit if were going to use it in a blended tea.
