>>92818Yeah I doubt many stores would offer free samples or anything, one online store where I buy yerbamate throws in some samples when I make larger order.
On the bright side, unless you're some velvet-tongue gourmet, most of the tea groups taste similar, so green tea usually tastes like a grean tea, with slight differences between the specific kinds.
If you're worried about intense flavour I'd suggest buying white tea, you brew it in ~70C and it's generally rather mild.
