Bold and fierce, consumed hot takes flight into a racy bounty of sweet hay and round florals bolstered by rich cacao earth enhanced with soft cinnamon and anise. Cold shows patience and calmness, with bright saccharine honey tones and shimmering fluorescent minty elements surrounded by rich leather and fertile soil dankness. Either way, this terere will most certainly take you on a journey.
Brew for 3–5 minutes in hot water (150–170ºF, 65ºC–76ºC) to achieve a full-bodied flavor. For a brighter, cleaner taste, brew in cold water. Optionally, use a traditional yerba mate cup (or cuia) and bombilla/bomba (filtered straw) until the flavor fades. Add a touch of honey for sweetness. Enjoy!
