This is the tea that got me into tea, though I grew up drinking Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger, this is the one that introduced me to the world of caffeinated teas so there’s a lot of “homeyness” in this for me.
The mango in this cuppa was much more mellow than usual and the ceylon was weaker (I probably understeeped it, patience is a virtue that I do not have) but it was still good. There are some sweet notes but they’re quieter, like a slight drizzle of honey. The cup is “dry” not the driest tea I’ve had by far, but my mouth feels “cleaner” which for me is something I enjoy for tea. In the past, the ceylon has never been tannic for me and the mango is not by any means overdone compared to a few other mango blends I’ve tried so this was the perfect cuppa for the first storm of the season :)

Flavors: Drying, Honey, Mango, Sweet

Bio

I got into loose leaf teas about three years back when I figured I might be a little too old for Celestial Seasoning’s Zinger Teas. Ever since, I’ve been sneaking out of the house to find obscure hole in the wall tea shops to get my fix and swapping teas as I go.
Lately, I’ve been into herbals and rooibos, but I do enjoy black tea, specifically ceylons. I mainly drink flavored teas.

Currently Looking For:
Caramel flavored teas
Cherry herbals
