Crazy to think that this morning routine has changed my daily outlook. Such a great way to start the day 😎🧉
Tea?
Yerba mate
Yeah, yerba mate 😎
I personally mix in my own spice blend, which basically creates a chai version. I notice some cognitive effects from it that keep me super grounded through out the day.
I've been blending an unaged pure leaf product from Brazil with a roasted one recently. The pure leaf was too herbal tasting for me, but adding the roasted one makes it real nice. Sometimes I'll mix in Tara Gui with it.
I also enjoy adding some cocoa powder sometimes. And in February I'll sometimes buy a few pomelos, hollow them out and prepare the mate inside.
I haven't been able to take a slow morning sipping traditional style in a few years. I had a good friend about a decade ago and we would get together and drink mate together and listen to music or talk for an hour or three at a time. Good memories.
