Default Fresh Teas
It doesn't hurt to make tea with fresh herbs--mint, sage, chamomile!

No problem. I'm a bit of a pedant myself (it actually says 'tea' on the Rooibos box, which now seems a little silly).

Yerba mate is a traditional South American infusion that does contain caffeine. It's caffeine content is fairly low compared to most teas and coffees, but still apparent to drinkers. It's really, really tasty though, and it comes in two varieties. The green variety is light and earthy. The roasted variety is spicy, almost like an already put together chai without the milk.
Picked up some Yerba Mate today, and I agree with you about the taste - superb. I'll definitely be getting that again.

I was in Chatswood Chase for a while today (enjoying the Christmas shopping crowd), and I found that the asian supermarket on the top floor (Jusco, from memory) had a good range of tea. Ended up picking up a decent stash of the abovementioned Yerba Mate, will save the T2 for next week's indulgence

A former colleague of mine once brought with him bags of Yerba Mate from Argentina, and also some traditional bong-like mug to drink it from. Not sure what it's called, but it made the experience very interesting

Definitely a chamomile infusion for me. So soothing.

Haha... the gourd is a mate, and the straw is called a bombilla. Glad it has made it all the way to Iceland
