Hard to be sure without more detail but "woody" and "tobacco" are both words that have been used to describe the taste of yerba mate.

Thanks,

or where I got it so I tried it. and it tasted sort of strange, like
tobacco or wood. Not to good really, but then when I tried it again, I
used a soup spoon to measure it and must have missjudged what I was
measuring and it was wonderful. thick and Lovely. So I drank it for a
couple days and am down to about the amount for one more (2c brown
betty) potful and have NO idea what to ask for to get more.

Would anyone be willing to try this tea and give me their opinion of
what I need to order to find a similar tea?. if so please email me
offlist and with address and I will send it off to be "analized" LOL

thanks, Kitty
