i bought the chai spice yerba matte and i mix that with the dandelion root and green tea and add some vanilla stevia. its so tasty! i just put boiling water in a big thermos and add in the tea bags. once it's done steeping i take out the bags and use the thermos to keep the tea hot so i can enjoy it throughout the morning. i noticed that if i drink this tea after 3pm i have a tough time falling asleep at a decent hour.

So last night I went and got some dandelion root, some raspberry yerba mate, and pomegranite green tea and yum! I don't even like tea and that was pretty good! Didn't see any difference on the scale but I will still drink this because it's nice to have something other than water!

I find that if I mix my Yerba Mate Royale (just the plain one) with an organic vanilla chai tea it takes some of that "smokey" flavor away - which is good for me because that is just my taste. I didn't really care for the Yerba Mate chocolatte because I don't like the flavor mix of spices and chocolate in it - but my friend LOVES it and can not be without it - I mean, in her purse, in her car, in her desk, even in her hubby's car. I think that you have to try a few different flavor combinations to find your "formula". My friend goes to a special bulk healthfood store in her area and the lady there told her that the key to finding your right tea is to smell it. She said that if you smell it and love it then you will love it even more when you brew it. My favorite tea for ice tea is made by Stash (at most local grocers) and it is called Mangosteen Green Tea with Match - tastes like a raspberry/peach/mango and then I add some powdered stevia and a little lemon and pretend I am in the tropics!!! And, I absolutely loose more when I drink at least 64 oz of tea a day...I think it "ups" my metabolism and then sweeps away all the toxins and fat :)
