Question 1

How many net crabs are in a serving?

Accepted Answer

I haven't netted any crabs, so there are none to serve. It's tea, after all, with no nutritional value. There are many healthy reasons to drink this tea. I actually use it to settle my stomach.

Question 2

As someone who hasn't had Mate in a few years, should I get the loose leaf or traditional cut? I don't know the flavor difference.

Accepted Answer

Traditional cut is with stems and not as strong. Whole leaf is a lot stronger without the stems. I like the Traditional cut as a everyday drinker of Mate. I would recommend the Traditional if you have not drank it in a while. I add a little nutmeg or I let some Orange peel dry out on my countertop and break it up into little pieces into my Mate. It’s yummy! Enjoy!

Question 3

Does this have high caffeine? I have anxiety and tend to stay away from caffeine

Accepted Answer

Yerba Matte does contain caffeine however it is a metabolic stimulator as opposed to a central nervous system stimulator.  It is good for people trying to wean themselves from coffee.  If you are sensitive to caffeine, this may not be the optimal choice, however I am very sensitive to caffeine and I can enjoy yerba matte once in a while.  I don't steep it long at all, unlike traditional matte that can be brewed all day.  You might also consider something completely caffeine free like a rooibos tea which is full bodied more similar to the black tea we are accustomed to, or a chamomile tea, a relaxing herbal tea.  Blessings to you.

Question 4

Can you add the tea to smoothies?

Accepted Answer

Are you asking if you can add the whole tea leaf or rather a brewed cup?  I suppose you can add anything you want to a smoothie, but I don't think the actual leaf would add anything to a smoothie.  However, since many companies have added mate to various drink mixes I would think that mixed right it would be a good addition, might even try it.  So can you add mate.....................sure, why not.  Mate strawberry banana.................hmmm sounds good.
