This is a hippy happy organic energy drink, and it isn't to bad. It is powered by Yerba Mate, which has appeared in other drinks, but in a pretty limited form and amount. This drink is a tea that has been drank in Paraguay for thousands of years. It is basically their coffee, to me it tastes like a more earthy and a little more bitter than green tea. This was the raspberry flavor, which has a little more sweetener in the drink (organic sweetener cane sugar), and has a nice fruity flavor. I liked the taste pretty well, although it still had a pretty strong earthy flavor I would have probably added a packet of sugar if I had one around. Anyways this energy tea as I feel it should be called is pretty good, packed with 24 vitamins, 15 amino acids, and antioxidants i guess I just feel kind of healthy drinking it. Does it have the power and energy that other energy drinks bring to the table? No, it doesn't have the kick that red bull or others pack, but it does have a highly useful difference it has a very calming energy and awareness. This is a drink to stay up late and work, or to stay up and study, it seems to not mess up the clarity and focus in your brain which a lot of other energy drinks do, you know the jittery feelings that accompany to much caffeine. This drink keeps you focused and ready to think. So I would highly recommend Yerba Mate, for studying, reading, writing, and that sort of thing. Anyways, this would be worth a shot if you want something that is entirely different out there on the energy market, just wait till I review the loose leaf Yerba Mate, I have it is pretty weird stuff.
