Spicy and yummy. Found this one in a Communi-tea and loved it so much that I bought a large bag immediately
Traditional yerba mate elegantly balances the spirit of chai spices with the essence of tropical fruit undertones.

Theres a lot going into this one and it all works so well together. Its brighter than a classic chai but shares some of the same elements with its warming spices. Will definitely be in my permanent rotation
This smells amazing! My partner really enjoys this tea. He’s had it for breakfast and he says that the fragrance is so strong!
LOVE this tea blended 50/50 mix with Raja Oolong Chai. Gives me a warm cuddly feeling in this freakishly cold weather.
Holy moly!!! This is delicious. The smells, the taste, all of it I give two thumbs up and an 9 out of 10 on the herbal tea scale. Highly recommend
This tea is in my top 3 favorite. I've never had a bad cuppa with samurai mate.
Too bland for our taste and the combination of flavors didn't enhance the tea.
As a substitute for the samurai chai mate from Teavana, it's pretty good. There's less of a cinnamon punch underneath the fruitiness than I seem to remember from the Teavana version, but that's nothing you can't adjust for on your own. I put about a teaspoon of honey in and it seems to balance the taste (for my taste buds, anyway!).
Just about my favorite Adagio tea. Lots of flavor.
Samurai Mate has quickly become a new favorite in my house, even with my coffee loving husband! Having read the ingredients, I steep at a traditional mate temperature so as not to scorch anything, and I still get great results. The flavorings in the tea definitely are more forward than other Adagio classics, but I've still reordered multiple times and will continue to do so.
I enjoy the mix of flavors in this tea! It's great in the afternoon since it is herbal.
This tea tasted like nothing to me. I was so confused.
I love to use this to make my own holiday blend at home
Sweet and spicy, this is a great pick me up on the days I don't want the heaviness of coffee but still need something to get me going and wake me up.
Alternative to Teavana. Exceptional flavor and enjoy it much more.
It's a little INTENSE, but nice and punchy and fruity. Super caffeinated. Drink a pot of this when your adderall prescription runs out.
This is an amazing tea. Yerba mate teas are definitely an acquired taste, but this is a delightful almost chai-like tea that I think most can appreciate. I had to add some milk and sugar to it to be able to enjoy it fully, but it worked out surprisingly well. I'm looking forward to trying this iced in the summer.
This is a great morning mate! I like to combine one teaspoon of this with one of a toasted yerba mata for deliciousness!
great flavor when blended with white ayurvedic chair
Really good! It has a very relaxing flavor, and i love drinking it at night before bedtime.
Not a bad flavor but some of the notes made it seem a bit busy.
I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but I still find this drinkable. Probably won't buy again, though.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this tea but boy am I glad I tried it. First is the spicy cinnamon than you get the pineapple and mango after and a hint of almond to smooth it all out. It is a glorious blend.
Great flavor abs a different tea for me. Expanding my palette and my selection.
This one is sort of chai like but misses the mark for me.
Tastes alot likeable of the other spicedteas that are out right now.
Super close to the Samurai Chai from Teavanna that I've been looking to replace for ages.
Smooth and warm blend! I was looking for a mate and this is my favorite I've tried
I love this, it is in my regular rotation.
A daily drinker for sure.
I received the tea sampler and tried this one first. It was so delicious I didn't get through the cup before ordering more, I must have more! Wonderfully spiced, anise and mango, I love it. What a great cup of tea!
Sweet, citrusy, with a bit of floral notes. This tea is great for an afternoon pick-me-up. I think the tea would be a little better with more pineapple and papaya flavor and less floral but it's still a good tea.
Brewed with the white Ayurvedic chai, 1:1 mix. Delicious blend just like I used to get at Teavana
This herbal blend was amazing! The flavor was so smooth and balanced!
Smells wonderful, tastes even better. Spice and fruit in a smooth blend. Delicious both hot and iced. I will be purchasing this again.
UPDATE: This has become my morning tea. I love sipping this on my way to work. Added benefit: I've given up coffee with this new morning ritual!
Combined with raja oolong chai. It's just like Teavana's chai. Mix before pouring, since sweetness sinks to the bottom. Not sure if I'm overbrewing.
Ever since Teavana closed I didn't think I'd find this blend again. I brew it longer at slightly longer time bc I like my tea a little strong
I really enjoyed this tea! I used to get a blend from Teavana that I liked and could not get any more. Then I discovered this site and WOW I am impressed! I mix this with the Raja Oolong Chai and for me it is a cozy cup of comfort. Thank you for making such great teas!
Love this one! Great flavor. Great pick me up. I’ve been drinking this to help combat the midday drag. Plus, it has a great aroma that really fits in the fall/winter.
This is becoming a favorite for tweaking other teas. On its own I find it to be a little too fruity, but it melds beautifully you add a dash of Samurai Mate to some of the more spicy chai blends.
Tastes almost exactly like tea vanas! Will definitely be getting this again
Best wake up tea. I prefer a bit of steamed milk in mine.
Delicious well balanced mate with excellent mango flavor. I like to co-brew with Oolong CHai
I like to mix this with the Raja Oolong Chai blend :)
I had this team combined with equal parts white ayurvedic chai at a friends house. (It was a combo that closely resembled a Teavana blend she used to adore). WOW! Absolutely amazing. I am looking forward to this Mate as a stand alone as well.
Obsessed with this tea, will definitely order it again!! It reminds me of the Maharaja chai blend from Teavana that I loved !! Drank with honey and was almost the same flavor as the Teavana blend. A spicy sweet mix !
This is good if you want a spicy tea, its fun trying their sample sizes
Bought it to replace Teavana's version. Not exactly the same but close enough. Enjoyed it just as much.
G (who has a taste for spicy teas way beyond the rest of us) loved this, though it was a little strong for M & J.
This is my favorite. The subtle fruit flavor made this tea very refreshing and enjoyable to sit by a fire and drink.
I was picking up a slight cinnamon taste to it. The aroma from this was amazing and the flavor lived up to the smells. Highly recommend this to others!
