Mango Madness

My sister came over for tea and chose this one to try, time to boil the water!

First steep: Not bad, not bad at all. Not entirely mango, but not all that far away. I will admit it would be really hard-pressed to recreate the flavour of a mango in a tea, but this one doesn’t do too badly. It`s fruity at first with the white tea lingering afterwards.

Second steep: Slightly weaker, but still satisfying. We got two pots out of this which isn’t bad at all!

A slap in the face with fake cloying mango, with hints of what was almost a decent tea.
This tea does capture the taste of mangos, with hints of that fruity body. the tea base is rich, and gives the tea a nice body and depth. However the most prominent flavor is fake stinky mango.

I wanted tea, with some mango. This is fake mango, with some tea…..

This was in a sampler that my daughter gave me. The packaging is really nice – a sturdy box with plenty of info about the teas and little tins of samples.

I was surprised at just how fruity this tea tasted! I would definitely be tempted to buy more of this one if I was in the store – but thee are none within about ten hours probably! It had great body and a nice, thick mouthfeel with a creamy vibe supporting the wonderful fruitiness.

Made an iced tea today with this one but I have to say, I don’t love this tea. I was getting some crazy floral taste to it, which doesn’t make too much sense to me, but yeah… So anyways, I didn’t enjoy this one that much. Maybe the amount I had was getting old? It probably was… Maybe a fresh sample would be better to try to really know how I feel about it, but this time I was kind of over it.

This was certainly not what I expected! I thought it would be a light fruity cup, based on the name and smell. It turned out to be a very mild floral tea. It was enjoyable, but not my favorite by any means.

Leftover from the Christmas advent calendar 2015. I tried it hot back in December but don’t remember much (I think I liked it?). I tried it iced today (hot steep poured over ice). It definitely has a mango flavor but I’m picking up on the pineapple/citrus more. It is refreshing and I could see it being a great cold steep but bleh, that stevia extract leaves a horrible aftertaste. Hey DT, can I just add sweetener to my liking?
It is a decent tea, but I don’t think I’d ever stock up on it.

I just had a cup of this blend, and I am glad I still have the old version, cause the new blend sucks. I like this one, but its not my fav tea. It tastes of mango (obviously) and not sure what else. Overall this tea is alright on occasions.

I decided to finish up the last of this tea this weekend (I only had a little bit left and the tin was taking up too much space in the cupboard). I prefer drinking this tea as a cold brew instead of hot. As a cold brew (or iced) I can really taste the mango and fruity flavours, but steeped hot this tea is sort of boring. However, hot or cold brewed, the white tea taste is buried deep beneath everything else that is in this tea.

Fruity, citrus. Strong mango. Milk okay.

Too much citrus for me. Not a fan of it in teas.

This tea is pretty tasty. I definitely get the mango flavor, as well as some orange. It’s light, not nearly as tart as I thought it would be, but I also actually let it steep for 3 minutes. It’s a nice delicate fruity tea that isn’t too heavy on the sweetness. This would be amazing iced, and I might just make up a batch today!
