This is the tea I was most excited about in my Beastly Beverages order, and thus why I’m having it as soon as I can (read: when caffeine will keep me pleasantly awake instead of tossing-and-turning awake). Mango, pineapple, chili? YES!
Parsing out the tea was an interesting experience: a huge piece of mango was in the middle of the brew, one longer than my hand. Yea, I have small hands. Still.
I only brewed this for two minutes, and wish I’d given it a bit more time. It’s a bit thin, the whole thing – other than the mango. That’s present and lovely and really authentic – as evidenced by the dried mango, of course. However the base is thin, the chili only peeks out momentarily, and there’s definitely something granular in the brew – almost as if the fruit pieces had disintegrated.
I’ll try again, hopefully with a bit more fleshing out and fullness.
1.5 tsp in 12oz.

I am sorry it is not as good as you would have hoped. It certainly sounded like an interesting tea. Plus it is inspired by Supernatural which makes it all the more appealing.
Agreed! I’ll brew it longer next time to see what changes. The mango really is bang-on though. I have tons to play with… and can of course send you some, to save you finding out with the huge order requirement, if you’d like.

100 g really is a large quantity to order but I might give in eventually as some of the blends do sound great. I shall continue to watch your notes to see your thoughts on the company.
