drank Sweet Red Mango by The TeaCupany
1040 tasting notes

Wow is this tart. The word sweet in the name is not telling the truth. I actually don’t mind tart, and I’m not a hibiscus hater, but this one might be on the verge of pushing my tartness limit. If you can get past the tart, this has really nice juicy mango flavors. It steeps up bright red and is beautiful to look at.
I don’t hate it, but sweetener is definitely needed for my tastes.

I just tried Sweet Cherry and given this review I think The TeaCupany may be confused as to the meaning of the word “sweet”

LMAO

LOL I saw your review VariaTEAINHO this one is MORE tart than the sweet cherry.

Thank you for the feedback guys! I will modify this name, for some reason Sweet Red Mango was the chosen title given based on reviews in the house and office. I will modify the description as well as title for the site, as well as re review myself with a couple different steepings.

Sil

Sounds great teacupany!

This is what I love about Steepster and the tea community in general. Companies/owners actually read/care/listen to what we have to say.
Mitch at The TeaCupany provides awesome customer service. Thanks for listening. LOL if we could just get a bit of the tart from this tea into the cranberry black I was drinking last night, all would be right in my world….. or maybe I should blend them…hmmmm

the TeaCupany

Just did my second pot and you are all right! Maybe the sample package had less hibiscus in them or something weird going on, so I will modify the name and description. Will also do the sweet cherry one as well, as I wouldn’t be happy if I was in the mood for sweet tea and got a tart one :) And also thank you again to everyone, as without feedback there would not be any progress or improvement! We are very new here and still working out all the kinks, so thank again.

I needed to update my profile. I joined Steepster 03Mar13. I am just amazed at how much my tastes have changed since then.
When I discovered loose leaf tea about a year and half ago, I didn’t know anything other than my local Davids and Teavana/Teaopia. Stumbling onto Steepster CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Hello, my name is Dex I’m a tea addict.
I’ve been through the “I need to try every single tea out there” phase. I really hope the worst of that has passed. I’ve learned enough to know that I only need to try HALF of all the teas out there. LOL
When I started this journey, I was all about the flavored rooibos and fruity tisanes. Don’t get me wrong there is still room for dessert (chocolate/caramel/nutty) Rooibos teas in my cupboard and I still do enjoy them, BUT I am quickly learning to appreciate the some of the straight teas of the world.
Big bold (but not icky)pu’erh is suddenly my favorite, followed by woody/roasted oolongs. I’m just starting to explore straight black teas, and have found some that I really like.
Generally speaking I’m not into greens at all, only like the occasional green oolong, and white teas are just too mild for my tastes (unless they are fruit flavored). I still enjoy really good fruit tisanes, but am now cold steeping them.
I don’t like floral/herbal blends, and mint anything is not on my preferred list.
I am still exploring new teas, adapting to my changing tastes, understanding more every day how little I really know about tea. Ultimately I would love to find approximately 50 teas that I just “can’t live without” and always have them in my cupboard. That might not be practical, but that what I’m searching for. It’s going to be a fun journey.

All in all, I love this site. I’ve met some wonderful people, and have gotten to try some amazing teas because of them. It really restores your faith in humanity when you get a note saying “oh by the way I sent you some tea”. Wonderful, generous, people here.
