Personally, I prefer the unsmoked varieties of the loose leaf tea (although it is traditionally smoked). I do however prefer the traditional cut, which includes the stems and makes it less bitter. I get the "Eco Teas" brand, just because it seems to be available at one of the local, ritzy grocery stores. There are a million brands out there, I've only tried a few. Guayaki sells their loose leaf Mate at whole foods, but I have not tried it myself. I think the canned drinks are a good place to start to see if you like the effects, they just have a significant amount of sugar in them.
I don't like sugar in my tea or most things so i'll prolly ditto your recommendations for the simple tea :)
