Anybody here drink it? It's a South American tea. Apart from non-specific medicinal uses and promoting general "wellness" (a term I've come to dislike) it is also a plesant-tasting, mild stimulant.

I have a tin of it and it's a nice lift in the afternoon in place of the full caffeine hit from coffee.

My routine now consists of coffee in the morning (Trader Joe's Medium Roast sumatra whole bean, yeah!), gunpowder green tea at lunch, Yerba Mate mid-afternoon, green tea at dinner and before bed. Water by the liter throughout.

Anyway, just wondering if anybody else has any experience with or knowledge of the stuff.
