This yerba mate tea, it’s somethin’ else, I tell ya. My neighbor, she gave me some the other day. Said it’s good for ya. So, I tried it. Ain’t nothin’ like my usual black tea, that’s for sure. It’s got this… earthy taste. Like you’re drinkin’ the ground or somethin’. But, you know what? It ain’t half bad.

These yerba mate tea bags, they’re kinda like regular tea bags. Just little pouches with this stuff inside. You just stick ’em in hot water, like you do with any tea. These tea bags, I think is more easy to use than those loose leaves. I saw someone use those, so messy!

Now, this here yerba mate, they say it gives ya energy. Like coffee, but not so jumpy. I don’t drink coffee, makes my heart go thump-thump-thump too fast. But this yerba mate? It just kinda wakes ya up, gentle-like. Makes ya feel like you can get up and go, you know? This yerba mate is good for old bones, I reckon.

My neighbor, she drinks it every day. Says it helps her with her, uh… her… oh, what’s that word? The one where your joints ache. Ah, never mind. It just helps with achy bones. She says everyone drink it in Argentina or Uruguay, those places down south. She gave me the package and I saw Guayak Yerba Mate on it, said it’s organic, sounds good to me. It also said 40mg natural caffeine on it, I guess that’s why it can give you energy. They said it can give you smooth energy and focus, and I do feel so after drinking it. And I don’t feel sleepy in the afternoon!

I seen these yerba mate tea bags online, they got all sorts. Different flavors, even. I just got the plain kind. But maybe I’ll try some of them fancy ones later. Don’t know if they’ll be any good, but it don’t hurt to try, right? This one I got has 75 tea bags, can last me a long time. I drink it in the morning, have more energy to do my chores.

• You just put one of them tea bags in a cup.
• Pour hot water on it.
• Let it sit there for a bit. Like you’re waitin’ for paint to dry, but not that long.
• Then you just drink it!

They say this yerba mate is good for other things too. Like, it helps keep your blood sugar down. I don’t know much about that, but I guess it’s a good thing. And it helps with… with that stuff that clogs up your pipes. Cholesterol, that’s it! It said it can help with lower blood sugar and cholesterol, that’s good for our old people. Don’t need no more problems with that. This here drink might just be a miracle in a cup! And they say it can help you when you exercise, I don’t do exercise now, too old for that. But it does give me energy to do more walking.

One tea bag only has one to three grams of yerba, ain’t much, right? But it does give you some caffeine. They said one bag has 30 to 40 milligrams caffeine, that’s why it’s not that jumpy. It says drinking it everyday is ok, so I guess I will drink some everyday.

This yerba mate, it ain’t fancy, but it’s honest. It’s like a good, strong workhorse. Gets the job done. And it’s good for ya. What more could ya ask for? These yerba mate tea bags are easy to use, and not expensive. I will ask my neighbor to buy some for me next time she goes to the grocery store.

So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to give ya a little boost, maybe try this yerba mate. It might surprise ya. Just don’t expect it to taste like candy. It’s more like… like a good, strong cup of dirt. But in a good way! You know what I mean? These yerba mate tea bags, they’re alright. They’re alright by me.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go have another cup of this here yerba mate. Got a lot of work to do today. Gotta weed the garden, feed the chickens, and maybe even bake a pie if I’m feelin’ up to it. This stuff gives me energy to do all that, I think I can finish it all today! And I think I will tell my friends about this tea, I’m sure they will like it. Maybe we can drink it together next time when we play cards!
