I went to the grocery store today to buy a bottle of shower cleaner and a frozen lasagna entree. It just so happens that the store has a Tully's Coffee inside it. Usually, I peruse the bakery items, as I walk by. However, today as I walked by, I saw all of these huge Guayaki signs! They have Guayaki lattes, mochas, and shakes.
I've been drinking Guayaki for a year. It's a kind of tea from Central America. Well, it's not really tea, it's a tincture or an herb, because it's not from the tea plant. The tincture is actually called Yerba Mate and Guayaki is the largest company that sells it right now, and it's supposed to be healthy like green tea. Anyway, the point is, Mate is kind of on the fringe, and because of it's taste, it may not appeal to the casual tea or coffee drinkers. However, I liked the small hot mate mocha I tried, and I'm so excited that Tully's has Guayaki. Maybe some day Yerba Mate will go mainstream. I can't believe it!
I'm making a list of things that I will miss when I go to China. Guayaki Original Mate and Chai Mate is on the list. I love it!
