Oh yeah, it helps to add something:) But it is definitely something that taste need to be acquired, I don't think I ever heard somebody 'yerba mate - I love it's taste!
I don't drink sodas, left alone energy drinks. I despise it actually :)
I am definitely herbal tea person:) I have tons different kinds in my cupboard.
The mix of lemon balm and quince is my all time favourite:)
And coffee - I just like the taste and the smell of it:)
😂Meet the first person who did, instantly hooked. Granted, I had good quality stuff, packed in a gourd, served with raw honey by a friend. To me, it tastes like a very mild type of green tea.
Those are horrible, just truly vile.
I've never had quince, although I'm familiar with that. I've never seen it anywhere Canada. Lemon balm I grow, so quite familiar. I eat that one (salads) as well as make tea with it. I bet lemon balm and quince are quite nice together.
Same; ever met anyone who didn't like the smell of coffee?
I am glad I met you, Yerba Mate Taste One Only Fan!
Lemon balm on its own is great too:)
Quince fruit looks much like an apple but it is extremely sour and if you want to turn it to the state that can be used - takes a lot of time to prepare it for consumption, but it is worth it!
Oh yeah, I have friends that truly hate coffee, they just favor tea:)
But you know, I live in the UK now, so it is 'the way' here :)
Glad I met you too and I don't know why people (except those from Argentina) aren't Yerba Mate fans.
Lemon balm is always good. I'd like quince, doesn't matter about prep time. I've always loved sour. I also like bitter, many different kinds of it. Ever have sorrel?
I have frieds who like both coffee and tea, ones who like one and hate the other, and ones who hate both.
It is and it's also part of my culture, how I grew up. I could give up coffee, but not tea, it's layered with too many meanings for me.
I drink Yerba for pure benefits of it, and there are many, and they are very easily spotted. Which is rare. Usually what 'works' it is more you believe that it is actually working, not a actually effect, isn't it? Placebo effect ;/
I love sour taste, it is my very favourite:) I know sorrel as a green plant, looking a lot like spinach. It has distinctive tart taste. The one you've mentioned looks a bit like wild rose fruit, but bit fancier:) Never seen those, but I see I can order dried fruits. I have to check those out, thank you:)
I would preferer not to gave up anything, because I really like every day to be different, but if I had to I would gave up coffee, that's for sure:)
Yes, Yerba has many benefits and it's also why I drink it. Ha, the placebo effect, yes. I don't think that's the case with Yerba (at least for myself). I did notice the oddest thing with Yerba that I didn't anticipate (based on the benefits I was aware of), which was this slight euphoric feeling, but balanced, not caffience, just a feeling of overall emotional wellbeing, a lightness, a mild happy feeling.
I grow and eat the green sorrel. It's delicious. Yes, like spinach but a different taste, you're right.
Wild rose fruit is a good description. If I recall correctly, sorrel is a type of hibiscus. I've had a lot of friends from the West Indies, so that's how I was introduced to sorrel. Hibiscus has a similar taste and colour. It's this deep alizarian crimson colour. I've managed to get it fresh here around December and it's so beautiful...I wanted to draw it but no time, lol.
Says it all when coffee can go. Tea is steeped sacred in my blood. 😉
Love hibiscus! I don't drink it very often, because it is too sweet for my taste, but I love the colour of this beverage and how the flowers look when I pour hot water:)
I thought you'd know hibiscus. It's so beautiful when you add water to it. I think sorrel is more sour than hibiscus. It can be sweet, yes, now that I think of it. I like to make iced herbal tea (minus sugar) with either, but I typically blend each of them with other herbs.
