Mercuryhime drank Mango Diablo by DAVIDsTEA

Okay, my third attempt at this tea. Cold brewed it for a good 1.5 days and it is great cold brewed. The spiciness becomes minimal. It feels a bit more like fizziness than spiciness. The mango is there and the funky green tea is barely noticeable. Refreshing and interesting. Might make a good base for lemonade!

Must be the hot water that brings out the spiciness of the pepper then! Good to know – this one can be a little overwhelming for me

Profile

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
