That’s awesome. I’ve always wondered what’s involved in growing yerba mate. I doubt I could grow enough to satisfy how much I drink it, but it might be fun to try.
I would think the plant is indigenous to South America, but there’s a tea company up in Duluth, MN, anahataherbals.com that grows and sells yerba mate, so it must do pretty well in northern climates.
The Kaffeost looks interesting, I have yet to try this one. I don’t recall seeing it anywhere when I visited Swedish Lapland or anywhere else when travelling in Scandinavia. I will definitely try and keep an eye out for it next time!
Has anyone else ever tried this one?
Not me. I’m not much of a coffee drinker, so I rarely pay attention to coffee drinks.
I like to think I’m fairly open-minded about trying new things… but I didn’t think it would taste very good until I read this which sounds kind of tempting!
I figured it might be good if you enjoy coffee, sort of like getting a cheese cap (or cheese foam) on a boba tea.
I’d never heard of a cheese foam for boba before @Maggie8K - that sounds delicious!
@Jenny as per @Maggie8K great recommendation above I found a recipe “How to Make Homemade Cheese Foam For Milk Tea (Cheese Tea)” which looks interesting.
I might have to try this one myself too! 
I’m going to try and buy the ingredients over the weekend to give this a go!
I spotted this Kusmi tea, (Happy Mind), which is a plant-based organic herbal tea with dragon fruit, turmeric, apple, chilli pepper, moringa and lemon & ginger. I especially love dragon fruit so I’m going to give it a go!
Has anyone else ever tried this tea before?
I’ve tried the brand, but not that flavor. I have some in one of our tea drawers now.
In the U.S., the chain Cost Plus World Market sells a variety of this tea brand. I live close to one of its stores, so I end up trying various ones. That chain sells a lot of tea brands, especially from abroad. Coffee, wine and treats, too.
I tried a Caffè Leccese whilst in Lecce, in the Puglia region of Italy. It’s a traditional refreshing iced coffee drink from Salento (the region around Lecce) and made with espresso, almond milk syrup, and ice cubes. It is a symbol of Apulian culture, and is enjoyed year-round, especially during the summer months.
Has anyone else tried one before?
Just cleaned out our primary tea drawer in time for Chinese New Year’s (cleaning is part of tradition ahead of celebrations). I have a smaller drawer of tea in my home office. Likewise, my husband has a cabinet for tea in his man cave. We love tea and have it daily.
Yesterday, we had dim sum, with tea, of course.
Usually, if you’re Chinese, they automatically ask you what type of tea you prefer, because tea is a given. If you’re Western, they bring chilled or iced water.
What a fantastic selection @Maggie8K - and the dim sum looks amazing as well.
I’m curious about the Wallace and Gromit tea - is it a flavoured tea? Wallace and Gromit were so popular when I was young - I had a W&G alarm clock!
