Fusion Tea Room Reviews - Part 2

The next installment of Fusion Tea Room's Yerba Mate reviews begins.

Today, Pistachio Lime Mate and Good Morning Mate

First Pistachio Lime Mate:
This blend was the most intriguing of all of the blends. Mate with sliced pistachios and actual pieces of limes. I was mortified and intrigued all at once, I had to try this blend.
When I finally got a chance, I was on my fourth cup of blended Mate drinks for the night. I was overloaded with liquids and my senses were heightened, but I was not going to not review it....right?
I immediately am taken a back by the smell, I say to myself, "this smells awful, pistachio and lime, what was Fusion Room thinking?" I brew a stout batch, and dig in...GLORIOUS! The team work of the pistachio and the lime worked wonderfully. At first I thought was going to be a dud, turned out to be great. They worked well together, and the smell was mellowed out when brewed. The Mate was not incredibly potent, but with a crazy blend like this, I did not expect to. I could taste the Mate though which I could not believe.
Awesome Blend... 4.25 out of 5

Now to review the Good Morning Blend:
As an avid Yerba Mate drinker, I have grown my pallet to enjoy bitter things. This does not only mean my taste buds, my nose as well. Before I review this I will say I hated the initial smell, before and after brewing. On that note, a VERY TASTY blend. The Mate wasn't very potent but it was there and it gave me a good, almost jittery energy. I know "jittery" is a four letter word in the world of Mate, but it was good jittery, ha! Great tasting blend although a suspect smelling one for a very sensitive nose. 3.5 out of 5
Thanks Fusion Tea Room!
