Hey Eric, while we're on the subject...can you describe the difference in
taste between roasted yerba mate and green? I have some roasted and I can't say I like it very well, so I thought maybe I'd have more luck with green...but tell me if you happen to know, what the difference in taste is.

You know, I could buy 2 straws, one for green teas and one for white. I thought for awhile that my preference for my plastic-lipped travel mug over my S/S lipped mug was tactile, but my glass mug dispelled that thought. There *is* something going on and it is definitely a metallic taste. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it for myself because I eat with S/S forks and spoons all the time. As for cleaning my glass mug, I merely rinse with hot water and let air dry. I wash it when I change from black tea to green or when the glass doesn't seem as clear. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.

There *is* something going on and it is definitely a metallic taste. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it for myself because I eat with S/S forks and spoons all the time. As for cleaning my glass mug, I merely rinse with hot water and let air dry. I wash it when I change from black tea to green or when the glass doesn't seem as clear. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.

There might be some electrolysis or something going on. *shrug*. Um...what's going on is that it's chrome-plated, not S/S.

I pretty much introduced her to loose leaf teas rather than bags. She's pretty happy with whatever I bring in. Neither of us drinks coffee. Both of us drink lots of iced tea - it's a southern thing. And every morning, I'd make her a fresh cup of hot tea and take it to her in bed. -- Derek Not all pain is gain. |

It's funny, when I read that, I grimaced too.
I had a nice loose leaf strawberry black tea that I would drink in the evenings, when I get a craving for it. But in the morning, I go for the good quality Ceylon. I don't think I ever drank that tea first thing in the morning. |
