Normally I would never even think to try something like VIDA MATÉ’s pineapple-ginger yerba mate drink. Allyson however likes teas like those so she grabbed on on a hot day a while back, and of course we had to shoot some video and do a review of the pineapple ginger VIDA MATÉ.
Verdict On Pineapple Ginger VIDA MATÉ
This is another product that we completely disagreed on when it came to flavor.
Allyson more or less liked it, though was hoping that the flavors were a little more bold. Overall, she thought it was pretty good though.
For the most part, I didn’t want to give my opinion on this drink as I am not the target market for it, and it doesn’t seem fair so say that I didn’t like it. For me, it was a flat, sort of bland tea that was unimpressive. But that is kind of what it is supposed to taste like apparently.
The final verdict on the pineapple ginger VIDA MATÉ is that it is good. I don’t think it is good enough to get Allyson to switch from her usual tea of choice, but seemed to enjoy it.

Where Can I Buy VIDA MATÉ?
We have found it twice, just by chance in local convenience stores. I’m assuming they have some distributors getting their drinks out into the market. If for some reason you can’t find them in our local stop-and-shop, you can try checking their product finder page, or check your local Fred Meyer, Safeway, QFC, or Alberstons.
