Oh man.
I think that Lupicia does flavored teas better than just about anyone except the French companies. The tea in the sample packet has an amazingly strong smell, at the bottom of which is fresh mango — a rather amazing feat.
The tea is a sharp, clear, chestnut color and has a mellow mango scent. The flavor is just like the smell.
This is an excellent mango black tea. Again, it hasn’t had the kind of love I’d have expected on Steepster, but maybe I just have a thing for Lupicia’s flavored teas. The only non-French companies that come close tend to have a star or two. ATR, for example, had Brioche and Berry Noir, but a lot of their other flavored teas struck me as just ok.
The majority of Lupicia’s are really well done with just a clunker or two.
I will miss them.

In my opinion, their fruit flavored teas are just really exceptional. ❤
Oh no. Again, I’m tempted to order this. I have the Ripe Mango already.
@Cameron B. I’m so glad that I began trying “flavored” teas in time to be able to try Lupicia. It’s a hit or miss (i.e. real or artificial) with others.
@Kawaii – I can send you a sample if you’d like!
@Cameron B. I’m up to my ears in samples, I still have a few more of your awesome package and derk’s now hehe. I may just wing it and get some before they shut down their site since I love mango anyway, but thank you so much.
Sounds yummy! I wonder if this is the same as “Paradis Tropical” on the French site. They change a lot of the names, so it can be hard to tell. The description there is “Black tea | Ceylon; A sweetly sour tea full of tropical fruits like papaya and mango. Makes a great iced tea as well.” I might have to at least get a sample teabag next time I order.
Think this one is just mango?
@liz – That’s probably the same as “Paradise” on the US site.
aaah!
