Episode 357: Lavender Jasmine Maté

December 23, 2015

Metolius Artisan Tea's Lavender Jasmine Maté includes chrysanthemum blossoms and lemongrass along with the blend's signature elements. There's also coconut in here which...is odd. They say it gives the tea a nice body, but will that also affect the taste?

The flowers and lemongrass do a good job of cutting out the grassiness of the maté, but there is just a hint of coconut in here that gives the blend a weird aftertaste. My suggestion? Nix the coconut -- the blend doesn't need it.
