Mango Madness

Mango Madness cold-steeped!

The citrus comes out quite a bit with a hint of peachyness at the end. Very refreshing! Wheres the mango? I’m at the end of this bag of tea so maybe I’m stuck with mostly citrus peels, booooo!

Wow what a great tea! I love mangoes so obviously this tea is for me :) The mango taste is really strong and that’s mostly why i love this tea. I think this tea tastes good with or without agave nectar, but dont put too much or else i’ll take over :O I dont know if this tea is good hot, but i know this tea is great iced. It’s like a very very light orangey yellow colour. The only problem with this tea is it’s expensive. I think a good idea is to buy bamboozled from DAVIDs TEA because its much cheaper and they taste the same :)

this is definitely Mango! Very fresh Sweet taste i think I put a little to much sugar in this one so definitely need to go light on the sugar and let the sweetness of the Mango come threw! I love Mango in the Summer but its hard to find Good ripe ones so this is Perfect for days when i want mango and don’t want the hassle! This is a good Keep it in the cupboard for that special day!

So yummy!! I took steep.it’s advice and only steeped this for 30 seconds, and it turned out perfectly. Sometimes I think that this tea has a strange taste, but as it cooled, that taste went away and it was pure citrus-y delight! I was also happy because I got a good resteep out of it! That took away some of the bitter feelings that my wallet was holding against this tea.

I liked it. I can’t say that I thought to myself “MMM! MANGO!”, but I liked it. Would I get it again? Probably not, only because it was expensive (claims to have a white tea base, but I drank it at night by accident and wasn’t up half the night like I would have been if it had more-than-negligible amounts of caffeine) but because I have others that I like more. It definitely won’t be me grudgingly finishing it (a la Jolly Jellybean), but I wouldn’t stock up if I heard they were discontinuing it.

Blech!

It smelled fine in the store, but it was very tart, like there was hibiscus hiding in there, waiting to be a bully. It is possible it over-brewed as I had the tea bag in my cup for a long time before realizing it was still there.

I drank it all because a) I’d paid for it and b) it was cold out on my walk and I wanted something warm.

Day 41 of my 101 days of DAVIDsTEA challenge. Rating is mainly based on the hot tea. I haven’t tried it iced yet, and I’m curious to see if it improves the flavour as much as my fellow reviewers seem to be suggesting.

The mango flavour is the most apparent, which surprised me as it’s not the first flavour on the list. It made me want a mango smoothie, so I could have the full mango taste. Actually, that’s what bothered me about it as well — it felt too much like the ghost of mango: a lingering, hollow flavour missing the sweetness and substance that would make it great (…and a smoothie rather than a tea).

It actually tastes BETTER as it resteeps — the fruity flavour seemed to come out more. That being said, the hollowness of the flavour seems to remain, though it did seem a little sweeter on the third resteep, when the water got cooler…..

_{Backlogging (so, based almost entirely on my notes)}

Not much to say here (I have very few notes), but I do remember liking it. I brewed it at 160 for 2 minutes, and it was good. Not the best tasting of the David’sTeas batch of samples that Ashley sent me with my order, but still good.

Got some free samples of this with my creme brûlée tea. It was enjoyable and light. However, the mango was too strong for my taste,

I had high expectations for this tea, as I’ve liked most of the recent fruity teas by DT, and I absolutely love mango. But I was pretty disappointed…

First, I had it in-store iced when it was tea of the day, a few days ago. It was way understeeped and didn’t taste of much (I’m sure the ice cubes didn’t help), but I still bought some and thought I would like it more when doing it myself.

At home, I tried it both iced and hot, and both times it was disappointing. The white tea is good, but the flavoring is off in my opinion. I taste no mango at all, though it does taste fruity, in a sort of “generic” way. Happy Kombucha was much better as a mango tea in my opinion. Iced, even when brewed strongly enough, I thought it was boring (of course, this is relative – I’ve become accustomed to all these exciting other teas by now!), though pretty refreshing. I shared a pitcher of it with friends and they also agreed that it was good, but not exciting. Hot, I thought it was a bit worse, as the non-mango fruitiness stands out more… it is very surprising, but I think I taste the white tea a lot more when iced.

Oh well, can’t love them all!

Mmmm mango! The mango is nice and crisp. Really strong flavour of a ripe mango. This tea is very refreshing and slightly sweet, I could drink it all day. This is another tea that I am going to have to try iced.

I got this as a free sample. This tea is lovely. The smell of the dry leaves in the pouch made my mouth water. I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. May have to add to my stash. Yum!

We are starting to get some hot weather here on the west coast which seems like a good excuse to make some iced tea… I picked this one up at DavidsTea because it smelled so good! Taking a closer look at the tea – in addition to the white tea leaves and the headlining mango, there is definitely a noticeable amount of orange (peel and “slices”) and pineapple. I steeped this tea for six minutes and, while it was cooling, added about two teaspoons of sugar, then poured over ice. The smell of the tea (while hot) instantly reminded me of hot apple cider and, to a lesser extent, fuzzy peaches. The taste (once cool) was that of pineapple and oranges… not much mango. That said, the tea was good, on par with many of the other iced teas that I have had this summer. I would’t have a problem drinking this tea again and it was quite refreshing on a hot evening.

I had high hopes for this one as I do all fruity teas with their light flavours and natural sweetness. The dry tea smells very fruity with overtones of citrus, making me think of a tropical juice blend… which is great, because I quite like to drink tropical juice blends! :D

Once steeped, I find the tea to be a bit less than I was hoping. Although pleasantly sweet, with mango and citrus the dominant flavours, it is weaker than I’d like, and I can’t detect the white tea at all. However, its very tropical flavour and ample sweetness make me want to keep a small bit of it in the cupboard…. and to try it iced, as I noticed that the flavour improved as it cooled.

Had this iced from the Sherwood Mall location in Etobicoke. The store was a zoo so we didn’t get much time but managed to get a taste and get my iced tea mug filled. This tea was great. The little I had of it. My 2 year old stole the mug and kept wanting to drink it. When we got back to the car I filled his cup with it and only got a little for me. From what I remember it was fruity and sweet. I will do another review when I get to actually have a full cup.

Good strong mango taste, the white tea is subtle

I found this hard to steep, and it really made it difficult to enjoy. The cups were all over the place.

For example, one day I had a really bitter tea, and the next a brilliantly sweet cup.

When the tea is sweet, and nice and strong this is wonderful and I highly recommend it.

I personally find that I steep this on the high end of what Davids Tea recommends, and at a slightly lower temperature for the best cup!

I love my white teas, and this tea is no different… as long as we’re explicitly talking about iced tea. This tea makes the best peachy-mango-y iced tea ever!

Hot, I don’t like it, but I have a problem with most fruity teas hot. The white tea notes get destroyed when you drink this tea warm. Cold, however, I find the white tea quite prominent. I’ll miss it when it’s gone, but if I find a suitable iced tea replacement, I don’t think I’ll miss it.

I received a small container of this in my dessert tea collection box. I tried it for the first time tonight. and it is delicious, its very fruity but not overwhelming. considering I’m not a huge make flavor fan i was very pleasantly surprised with this tea. I’m gonna go brew a second cup. I also just might add a large bag to my spring order.

Hmmm? Taste? Where are you???
When I first tried this tea, I did like it was written on the little bag. Wrong. Very wrong. No taste came out of it. I actually needed to let it steep for about 45 minutes before the fruit taste becomes strong enough.
Then I tried another method: I made a pot of iced tea. There it was.
Try it cold on a hot summer day and there you go. It was way better that way!
