Today I will be reviewing The Tea Spot’s Mate Limon Chai. I want you to look at the picture above this post before you read this review. Click the image and really look at the leaves. That is great color. I love nature, so I love how the yellows and bright greens of the yerba mate leaves really compliment each other. The ingredients of this tea are yerba mate, chicory root, citrus peel & essential oil, lemongrass, hibiscus, ginger, coriander and cinnamon.
Last week, was Yerba Mate week, and as I mentioned yerba mate is very hard to blend with, so I am looking forward to this tea and seeing how they blended it. The tea liquor color came out a light smoky brown. On the nose you can really smell the citrus essential oil, there is also a bit of spiciness to the aroma of the tea. Time to try the tea. The body is lighter than pure yerba mate, and very smooth. I wouldn’t have even guessed there was yerba mate in here. The flavours and personality of the tea that immediately comes out is a bold citrus. It’s sweet, clean, fun and flirty. The tea then becomes more mature and the body begins to soften and become rounder. The tea then finally ends off more deep and mature. I think this would be amazing iced in the summertime on the patio with a bowl of fresh fruit!
