I drank it slowly and after drinking half of the tea I was feeling normal but when I looked at something for some time I started feeling dizzy. After drinking the whole tea I felt quite strange. I just layed down and let those 10 minutes of dizzyness pass. Afterwards I was feeling mentally relaxed and physically with a lot of energy. I enjoyed it.
I took the tea at 5 PM and was feeling the power of it until I went to bed. Here are the amazing things: I stayed until 4 AM chatting with other herbalists and listening to hip-hop reggae :P And just when my last friend left irc, I thought to myself 'I'm so full of energy that I could go out jogging'! that was 4 AM. I've stayed up a lot of nights like that smoking pot but I've always felt sleepy. The energy the 9 packets of Yerba Mate tea gave me was so fucking nice. I really enjoyed it. I expected I would not be able to sleep but sleep came really easily.
WOW!I woke up at 1 PM in a fucking trance. I couldnt remember why I felt like that but after some time I remembered that the whole time I was sleeping I was dreaming LOTS of dreams, most of them funny nightmares! I'm a really happy person and it was quite strange having dreams of this type. In my dream I went to a doctor with my mum and he told me I'm really strange because I smoke too much weed. Another one I was in a foreign country with some friends from school and I start fighting in a funny way with two of them :) I think i didn't stop dreaming all night ,and all those dreams were SO REAL that i would like doing it again. But the stupid part is that I dont really know if it's healthy or not :]
I cannot be sure if all of those effects were from the tea, but I sure think Yerba Mate, as all things Mother Nature gave us, is quite worth trying. Maybe with not such a big dose. A friend of mine told me in the morning that that could have fucked my heart up, so be careful.
