I went over my mom’s house to drop off samples of tea, and then we enjoyed a cup of tea one of her patients got her. They tend to find her unique loose leaf tea. This batch came from the Caribbean and was not cheap (I of course looked it up online).

Mom used her variable temperature Breville electric kettle and the paper make your own teabags to make us tea.

The tea was a smooth, slightly bitter and astringent, black tea. Another disappointing Mango tea, as I could not taste the mango.

This was not a full strong tea I would recommend as a first wake-up cup of tea, as it was not that kind of strong caffeine hit.

Post-Steep Additives: none

I love mango! It seems like a strong flavor—so why is it so elusive in teas? I ordered an H&S sample of Mango Black which should be arriving next week. I hope I could taste the mango in that.
