I’ve never actually had Mango Coconut Pancakes – I don’t know if any such thing actually exists, but if I went to a restaurant and saw such a thing on a menu, I’d definitely order it.
Actually, my original plan was to go with a mango pancake idea, but after I did my initial taste test, I found myself wanting more from it, so I decided to add a little bit of coconut & vanilla to the blend. I’m glad I did that, because I love the way the creaminess of these two ingredients enhances the starchy pancake notes & the maple. The mango & coconut – not surprisingly – play so well together. While this tea does have a lot going on – it all comes together really nicely. It’s really a flavorful medley of tastes in one teacup.
I drank this hot today, mostly because I tend to prefer our pancake teas as hot beverages, but I think it would be delicious iced too.
