Good stuff, antioxidants, more caffiene than tea! Anybody else drink it? Any other benefits?
 
I've tried it; I still have a half a left-over tin. The shit is bitter as hell.
 
my grandpa has been drinking that shit for like 60 years (he's from uruguay so obviously that shit's big there)

he always tried to get me to drink it but i think it tastes HORRIBLE

If you steep it for too long it's bitter, I only steep mine about 2-3 minutes!

Wow, the stuff I have doesn't taste that bad? Maybe I'm not getting the real stuff? I'm heading to Central America in a couple weeks, maybe I'll be able to get some there? Probably not though, that's more a South American thing.
 
I've been drinking it for a while now. I think it kinda tastes like green tea, only more earthy, if that makes sense. I've heard all the hype about it, but I don't feel any of its supposed benefits. I just drink it because I like it. But hey, I enjoy Greens + too, so maybe my taste buds are just out of wack.
 
I actually like the taste. I typically only brew it up when I'm sick.
 
the taste is very similar to green tea and it's an acquired taste just like beer or coffee
