Mango Amazon

I’m not really jumping for joy with this blend. The mango is very mild. The black tea is astringent. It’s just kinda … eh. There are much better teas out there.

There’s just something about the aroma of these wonderful Georgia Tea Company Teas…LOVE the aromas!!!!

This smells like Mango and spice at first sniff! Once infused Mango! It ‘brews’ dark and the loose leaf looks just like the product description picture! Lovely! I have a HONKIN’ HUGE chunk of Mango in this cupsworth! YAY!

This is a bold, flavorful back with lovely Mango flavors! What a treat! YUM!

I won these teas in a contest that was run by Dan on Steepster that was great fun, and got me tea prizes! Dan will be running the contest monthly, so keep an eye out!

Post-Steep Additives: German rock sugar, only slightly bitter, still astringent; a little splash of lactose free milk, got rid of the bitter

It is a mild mango flavor, but it’s a dried sweetened mango flavor not fresh and juicy. thepuriTea Mango Black is still my favorite mango black tea.

Thank you amazonv for sending me some of this tea. Dry you can really see all the ingredients which is good and I smell the black tea and mango. Taste wise I really taste the black tea with abit of mango. This is a decent tea but I want more mango.
