Mapache Blend is a bold, roasty herbal tea created for those who love the flavor and depth of coffee—but not the caffeine. Named after the Spanish word for “raccoon,” this blend is resourceful, robust, and a little wild in the best way. Roasted dandelion root and burdock provide a grounding, earthy base, while carob and chicory bring in nutty, chocolaty notes with a soft natural sweetness. Sarsaparilla adds just the right amount of spice and body.
With flavor notes reminiscent of toffee, caramel, and Aztec hot chocolate kissed with hints of vanilla and maple, Mapache surprises even seasoned coffee drinkers. Delicious on its own, and excellent with milk and sweetener, especially as an iced latte.
