Customer Rating: - MacMate ... a new experience!
MacMate deserves an obvious five stars rating, not only because it is our house brand but because this is a new, natural, sophisticated and eco-friendly coca tea. Most boxed coca teas, Bolivian or Peruvian, are more or less the same as the techniques used for production are very similar with the same contents and weight per tea bag.
I have been drinking coca tea for 32 years and have tried them all and liked most. But with MacMate Air Tight Bag, we tried to create an exquisite gourmet tea which is produced differently versus the traditional techniques used for 100 years in Bolivia (Windsor celebrates its 100 anniversary this year). Specifically, we have obtained the finest selection of organic coca leaves which are free of pesticides and chemicals and arranged for them to be tested in US laboratories. Thus we have pioneered a top-notch process encompassing all steps in the processing of raw coca leaf to the final tea bag. The coca leaves go through a slow dehydration process similar to that of slow roasting coffee beans to get a humidity free product to prevent bacteria or fungus from developing and then we crush them into large flakes instead of the powdery-like content used for most brands. Our filter paper is bleach free and recognizable by its beige-like color instead of the traditional bright white. We opted for the golden Air Tight bag (Double Saran Coated Polyester) to guarantee the absolute freshness of the product and discarded all paper wraps that can interfere with the coca tea flavor or over dry the delicate tea bags. Our Air Tight bags do not "breathe". The technology used is similar to that used to pack electronic components. They have a zip lock system and can be recycled or reused.
The best thing about MacMate is it freshness. The tea is only produced one time per week in Bolivia and only for the American market and as soon as it leaves the factory it is packed and sent by air cargo with a three to seven day transit time. After that it is mailed from Charlotte, NC to all of our customers worldwide. Enjoy MacMate Air Tight Bag Tea!
Sincerely,
Carol Blenda Reyes Avila

Customer Rating: - Tea bags
You have to use a few of them, but they work.

Don't forget the bicarb soda.

Customer Rating: - Caution... You might not receive your order... I didn't
I personally wouldn't order from this company. Here's my story. Today is 29 Jan 08. I placed my order 8 Nov 2007. I ordered 2 bags of this tea. I received one bag after about a month. I contacted the seller by email and they said they had made a mistake and another bag would be shipped immediately. Anyhow, I waited another month and still no tea. I contacted them yet again and they claim a mistake was made! I'll say. There was no offer of a refund. Indeed communication seems to have ground to a halt for some inexpicable reason. Anyhow, today I called my bank and requested that half the amount I paid be refunded. So, that's my story. I think if you look at the comments page for the sellers page you will see other tales that make this more than just an anomaly. So, you've been warned.
