It replaced my normal coffee routine in the morning...love it!

I've become a bit of a Yerba Mate fanatic in the past couple years. I love the taste and the health benefits, and this is the best I've had hands down. It has a kind of caramel taste to it. New customer for life.

I've been trying to kick my caffeine addiction and finally found my replacement! I love the toasty flavor of Katu Kojoi. Very smooth also!

We enjoy drinking our Katu loose leaf tea! We brew it in our coffee machine and enjoy it with frothy cream. As former coffee drinkers, we thought we would miss the taste of coffee, but we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious and flavorful our new beverage is. It has proven to be a great alternative. Now, after three months, we are very happy with our new morning drink.

Having never tasted yerba matte before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, this unique-tasting discovery, turned out to be a great new-to-me alternative to my regular, morning cup of coffee and/or my green tea.

I purchased the loose leaf blend and simply used a pour-over method to make myself my first cup of yerba matte. Initially I used 2 teaspoons of leaves for my pour-over. It was good and richly flavored, and I could really taste the “mochaness” of the leaves. I believe I just added some stevia.

However, for my second cup, the next day, I just used 1 teaspoon of leaves for my pour-over, and then again a bit of stevia, and I preferred that ratio. It allowed the flavor to be a bit more “airy”. Additionally, I used the portion I had not finished while hot, to make an iced drink, and that was equally tasty.

All in all, I am really happy to have this new genre of a drink to add to my morning beverage rotation. Plus, aside from all the health benefits, it makes me feel a bit more worldly! Thank you Katu!
