Yerba Mate -- -- -- -- All $2.50/ounce

This is definitely not tea... its also definitely not "caffeine-free".

This South American plant is brewed similarly to tea by with cooler water. Local custom would have you sharing the mate communally out of a dried gourd, with everyone having their own bomba (or stainless steel straw with a filter).

This hot drink does not get bitter or astringent as the leaves steep, so it has a much mellower flavour than green tea.

These aren't teas either -- but they hardly pretend to be. Herbal teas are simple light liquors from plants that are frequently fragrant in the cup and relaxing when served after dinner or before bed.
