SAMURAI SPIRIT MATE | Chai spices with tropical fruit undertones

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Taste great. I’m glad I found Tealeavz because I’ve been missing this tea. It is wonderful alone but also pairs very well with the Maharaja Oolong and a great substitute (maybe better) for the old Teavana blend." – Joel B.

INGREDIENTS:  Yerba maté tea, green rooibos tea, cinnamon bark, ginger root, cardamom, orange peels, lemongrass, aniseed, almond, papaya, spicy cinnamon flavors, mango, and pineapple pieces. 

CAFFEINE LEVEL: Moderate

STEEP at 212° for 5-10 minutes.

Samurai Chai Mate is a vibrant loose leaf yerba mate blend featuring South American yerba mate and green rooibos with warm chai spices, tropical fruit, and bright citrus. Expect a smooth, energizing cup with notes of cinnamon, ginger, mango, pineapple, and orange.

Inspired by the beloved Teavana favorite, this unique blend combines the naturally invigorating character of yerba mate with the smoothness of green rooibos and an aromatic medley of traditional chai spices. The result is a tea that's bold yet balanced, offering layers of spice, fruit, and herbal freshness in every sip.

Warm cinnamon, zesty ginger, fragrant cardamom, and sweet anise create a comforting chai foundation, while juicy mango, pineapple, papaya, orange peel, and lemongrass add bright tropical notes. Green rooibos softens the blend with its naturally smooth, mellow character, making this a refreshing tea that's equally enjoyable hot or over ice.

With its moderate caffeine level, Samurai Chai Mate provides a smooth, sustained energy that's ideal for mornings, busy afternoons, or whenever you want a flavorful alternative to coffee. It has become a favorite among tea lovers seeking a replacement for Teavana's iconic Samurai Chai Mate and is especially popular when blended with Maharaja Chai Oolong.

Blending Suggestion

Maharaja Oolong is a popular blending pair with Samurai Spirit Maté. This savory and spicy oolong pairs beautifully with the chai spices and tropical fruit undertones.

Other teas that include cinnamon, ginger, or masala spices also blend well with a yerba mate. If you experiment with the stronger spiced teas, we suggest steeping no longer than 5 minutes, with just-below-boiling water temperature. This creates a spicy and sweet blend that'll keep you coming back for more.
