You can find it at health food stores, although I’ve seen it at major chains like HEB and Whole Foods in Texas

It tastes like Yerba Mate. The well-roasted ones kinda taste like burnt coffee, but you’re right it’s more like tea than coffee

Hmm, wonder if we could feed the algae something else, which is more sustainable? Maybe something that grows easily in the Americas?
I’m thinking something like hemp or Yaupon Holly (up to six times the caffeine content of coffee!) but I don’t know how quickly they grow

How is a colony maintained if the specific mutation causes infertility? Do they have to start from scratch every time?
