what is difference between mate tea and puerh tea?
1339426
Mate is actually a herb from the Yerba Mate plant's dried leaves not a tea. Puerh is actually a fermented tea that is produced in the Yunan Province of China. Depending on it's age Puerh can be very expensive. Both have a high caffeine content although I think Mate might be a little higher. Personally I love Puerh Tea it has a very earthy flavor. It reminds me of being in the mountains for some reason.

From what I can tell, pu erh tea is a method of aging tea leaves. Mate is a specific style of tea that differs greatly. There is a website called theteaspot, which can describe it better than me.

That's actually a surprisingly difficult question to answer... At face-value; a Mate tea has as much caffeine in it as a regular cup of black coffee, where pu-erh teas have about half that much... You may get more of an initial jolt from a Mate tea, but (at least in my experience) pu-erh teas taste much better and have a more balanced energy-effect...I have tried dozens of loose leaf teas from a variety of companies. Teavana is the best (though you pay a premium price for it), and Weight! To Go is their best product! If you're looking to change it up a bit, I also suggest Teavana's Champagne Sangria Punch!

Nope, not to me. I also prefer a chai tea that isn't too cinnamon-y. The flavors that come through more than cinnamon to me are ginger and cardamom. (...and thanks for asking - I forgot I had this, will go enjoy a cup right now!) :)

B001QHPQNC This # is not the same name. Is it the same tea? I have tried the Hot Cinnamon Spice & didn't find it to be as strong of a taste as the Hot Cinnamon Sunset.

I drink both and find that the Good Earth Sweet & Spicy is a bit sweeter than this one. The Harney has a more spicy flavor that is a bit stronger.

No it was not all different. Example, English Breakfast tea by Bigelow, Twining and Celestial. Same tea but by different manufacturers.

It is a strong English breakfast tea. I find it more flavorful than the "fancy" brands. The tea is broken leaves, not powdery.

It is not the same. I believe it is better. It is more flexible, less expensive, and uses natural jade (as compared to amethyst). Also, I have more confidence in the company behind it. The other product makes statements on its website which are either incorrect or misleading.The therasage pad is extremely healthy, both in terms of being proactive for your health and in addressing a variety of chronic health issues.

Sorry, I do not know about that although I do love this tea even although it is a little dusty.

Guyaki products are made from yerba mate, which is a different type of leaf, so it's not the same, but.... they have similar effects, both high in antioxidants and give you natural energy.

Haven't bought the tea bags for a couple of years now. I liked the loose leaf better because I can make it stronger or weaker depending on how I want it for the day. I've had the loose leaf for over six months before I get to the sealed bag and I've not noticed any difference.

Don't know about yerba mate, but I use one very small teaspoon of green tea. Tastes awesome. I think only the lid comes off.

Yes it is the same. I have been ordering this tea for years and this is the original, just in larger packets. Enjoy!

I don't know. Sam's Club had a sample. I said 'know way, I don't drink tea'. I tried it, I like it. Never had any at a Chinese restaurant.

All of the previous answers are accurate. Guayusa is related to yerba mate', but has slighty more caffeine and a different flavor. "Traditional" Mate' is also smoked; but the Guyaki brand has both, un-smoked and smoked. The reason guayusa it can be re-used is because it is free of tannin. Not so with yerba mate'. If yerba mate' is steeped much longer than four or five minutes, more tannins are released -- sufficient amounts to make mate' somewhat astringent and bitter. Tannic acid is also dehydrating, so you need to drink more water!

This is the smoky one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004S8N7S2/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Brown rice flavor) This is the regular green tea: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TIYVPK/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Love them both. :-)

They're all part of the same product family. It's just how Amazon groups like products. It's kind of like when you look at a book and it has the hardback, paperback, kindle, and audible options and all the reviews are "bundled" for the book. Or if you go look at a lot of different teas, they'll have all the types mixed together. Sometimes it's ok like with the books because you basically get the same product, other times, like with tea, it's kind of annoying trying to find the reviews for the specific flavor you're interested in. With this, the PSU, the only difference is the wattage, performance and reliability should pretty much be the same. For what it's worth, I just got the 750 not long ago and it's working well for me. Like it a lot better than my older partially modular PSU.
