A few months ago I wrote about the joys of yerba mate and its appeal to both coffee and tea drinkers. I’m currently straddling the line between the two so I’m extra excited that Celestial Seasonings Morning Thunder is back on our shelves. A blend of black tea and yerba mate, Morning Thunder packs a little more punch than your standard cup of tea, but doesn’t give quite the buzz of coffee. As Celestial Seasonings blendmaster Charlie Baden puts it:
This blend’s earthy flavor begins with roasted maté, an ancient herb whose oak-like flavor is wildly popular in South America. We combine roasted maté with rich, floral black tea to produce an exhilarating morning blend with no coffee jitters. Maté and black tea are both rich in antioxidants, making this a delicious, healthy way to start your day
This tea offers a truly unique taste and is great black, or lightly sweetened. Have you tried it yet?
