Green Mate
Origin: Brazil
Price: $18
Description
True gaucho flavor, full bodied but slightly bitter and wild. Mate is rich in mateine and was used as caffeine in Latin America before the advent of coffee.
Use about 2.5 g (one teaspoon) per cup, with water at 100°C, and steep for 5–10 minutes. It also makes a refreshing iced tea: brew it strong and pour it over ice. With moderate caffeine, it is an easy cup for the afternoon.
