White Tea with Yerba Mate'

White Tea with an Infusion of Yerba Mate' is a bottled iced tea from a company called Herbal Mist. I got it from the mom-and-pop bagel place down the road from me on Hamburg Turnpike before reaching 287.

Flavor: Sweet, light, and delicate. It has a slightly nutty aftertaste but mainly a nondescript fruity flavor.

Suggested Additions: Its a bottled tea so I didn't add anything. I found it to be a tad too sweet, but was afraid to add water because the flavor is so light and delicate that I didn't want to lose any of it by adding water.

Ingredients: water, cane sugar, white tea, citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), yerba mate'

Purpose: It is a good iced tea, with a light caffeine content. White tea is harvested early, before the tea leaves have matured and reached their full caffeine levels. Yerba mate' is a South American plant that also contains some caffeine and is prepared in similar ways to tea. The end result is a good, refreshing lunch beverage.

(Note, Blogger will not let me use fancy lettering for my posts. The correct spelling of yerba mate' is with an acute accent over the e, instead of the apostrophe I've used here.)
