Thanks Jillian!!!! :) I appreciate the opportunity to try this!

Dry Leaves smell like artificial flavoring…like mango powder candy or something. As it infuses the scent is becoming less ‘fake’ and more towards the natural scent of mango. YAY!

It’s medium brown in color but still watery/see-thru and clear.

The Black Tea Taste and the Mango Taste are both there but not very strong at all. It’s a little flat. It’s not bad tasting but it’s not very flavorful either.

It has a slippery aftertaste…which is rather strange but oddly pleasant. This is “ok” and I’d like to try it iced or maybe some good-ole SUN TEA with it. For now…I will go with this average rating…

It’s “OK”

I like the scent of this – it’s quite tantalizingly fruity. There aren’t any mango pieces in it, to my disapointment, but according to the seller they use ‘real mango oil’ in this tea, so I suppose that gives it some authenticity.

I took the first sip of tea while it was still quite hot and I didin’t really taste much except the Ceylon base. Naturally I felt rather cheated, but when I let the tea cool down a bit the mango flavour started to come in. It’s not very strong, more like a pleasent hint to compliment the black tea than the main event.

Not bad, but I was expecting a bit more out of this tea than I got.

I drank it with some milk this morning and surprisingly found that I liked it much better. The mango is still pretty subtle but it lends a bit of a fruity sweetness to the tea that’s quite nice. Actually I shouldn’t be that surprised – Murchie’s specializes in English-style teas which are generally best with milk and/or sugar.

Uping the rating a couple points.

I tried lengthening the steeping time of the tea but that seems to bring out the flavour of the Ceylon rather than the flavour of the mango. Hrmph!
