Sharedown
Another tea I had a couple of times and shared to my new tea friend. (A while back I gave her Blueberry Lemon Lavender and she used it for tea with her young daughters and they all loved it. She highly recommends it as a tea party tea!)
I had never had mango by itself that I can recall so I don’t know exactly what it tastes like. I liked this blend a lot, and mostly I tasted a slightly toned down maple syrup in comparison to Pancake Breakfast Black, with a bit of creaminess and vanilla. If I squint, I might detect some fruit but since I don’t know what mango tastes like, I don’t know if that is what I am tasting,
I have asked my friend to report back once she drinks it but I don’t know if she has ever had mango. Lovely tasting blend, though!

Mango has a very juicy and sweet-tangy tropical flavor. I see it described as peach and pineapple together, and I guess that’s somewhat accurate? Sometimes there is a slightly piney note to it as well.
That sounds wonderful! I love pineapple in drinks and desserts. I think this tea had a more lightly fruity vibe, less tropical to me. It could just be me.
Definitely give one a try sometime if your local grocery carries them. For science! ;)
For science! It sounds delicious!
Re: Mangos. You don’t eat the skin. When ripe, they yield to gentle finger pressure. They have a large hairy flat pod embedded in the flesh which can be difficult to cut out. Since your goal is to get the flavor, I suggest just buying a small bag of frozen mango chunks at Walmart or other grocer. Remove a few pieces and let them thaw to room temperature before tasting. I like them in fruit salad with melon, berries and citrus. Mango can be very sweet, so it goes well with tart or less-sweet fruits and melons and yogurts. If you buy the whole fruit, it takes practice to remove the skin and pit, and frozen is nearly as delicious, even when eaten as a snack while frozen. A mainstay of smoothies (and daquiris).
Thanks for the advice, TeaEarleGreyHot!
