Green

Maté absolute smells like freshly brewed green tea with a distinctive grassy-herbal snap—imagine the vegetal greenness of crushed grass clippings mixed with dried hay, but sophisticated and slightly smoky. There's a subtle bitterness underneath, reminiscent of steeped tea leaves or the mineral earthiness you'd find in spring water. It carries an almost astringent quality that tingles slightly on the nose, reminiscent of bitter herbs or gently roasted plant matter. Not sweet, decidedly natural, and unmistakably green.
