It’s done! Finally!

Not a tea I’ve loved. The flavour is just way too much. I mean, it smells lovely but completely overpowering, and if overleafed at all it feels like I’m drinking mango perfume.

I think I like mango tea, but perhaps a milder mango tea.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Ack mango perfume. I’ve finally come to accept I only like fresh mangoes. No tea has surpassed my ridiculous expectations. :P

Hello.Kiki

Mango seems hard to capture as far as taste and perfumes go. A lot of times it can smell too…. Ripe? If that makes any sense lol

OMGsrsly

I really don’t care for fresh mango, so the teas are a good alternative. :) Yeah, this one is like sniffing an overripe mango. That’s exactly it!

OMGsrsly
