Indigobloom drank Mango Black Tea by thepuriTea

Wow, this is some tasty tea!! esp given that I don’t typically go for fruity teas, maybe rasp/strawberry…
I tried it with and without milk, both are fabulous. The black tea is firmly present yet the true mango essence comes out. Mind you, I did add a dash of sugar, but I’ve come to expect that as a necessity from most flavoured teas.
It reminds me of these mango candies I get from the Asian supermarket near me, or rather, dried mango… quite nice. I suspect that iced, this tea would go really well and I may actually be inclined to find out someday soon. Hmmm.
Oh and my aunt loved it. I knew she would! however mum had no interest whatsoever. She seemed to reach a turning point last night when I accidentally spilled a drop on her blanket… like it put her off the smell or something! (I’ll never understand her. Mothers!!)
Quiltguppy, you have many thanks coming for this tea! I’ve got so many more to try…

She sent me the mango black tea from 52teas and we loved it! Alas, but it was already sold out. Glad to know there is another good one out there! Mine was the iced tea blend.

that QG certainly is a goddess of tea. If you liked the 52 version, I suspect his one is just as tasty!

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
