An ancient Hindu legend recounts the story of the mango tree growing from the ashes of the sun princess who had been incinerated by an evil sorceress. When the mango ripened and fell to the ground, the beautiful sun princess emerged. Our new Mango Green Tea combines the goodness of green tea with the flavor of perfectly ripened mangoes. Sun princess sold separately.

I opened this bag while I was still at school… and oh my goodness, it smells amazing! It smells just like a ripe, juicy mango. Then I proceeded to pass the bag around to my two friends making them smell the tea (tea>than English papers:P). One friend took a whiff of it and then another…and another.. haha. He couldn’t get enough of it! He said that he wished this scent came in an air freshener because he loved it that much! :P
Needless to say I was so excited to brew this tea once I got home.
I only let this tea steep for three minutes and that whole time I was pacing around the kitchen in excitement… finally I open the lid and a light green tea, mango infusion hit me. mmmmm. * happy dance *
This tea has a much lighter flavor than the smell was suggesting and oddly, I really like it. First you get the tantalizing smell as you sip, followed by the light but smooth green tea, and finishing off with a lingering mango note. Oh, yes..
After all the uber fruity tisanes that I have been drinking lately, this was refreshing. It is fruity without being too overly fruity. Can’t wait to try this iced!
But mmmmm.. That smell of the tea.. I’m just tempted to leave the bag open to scent my whole room!^.^

I had this as a sampler packet, I can’t taste the mango, is very light not frutty as i expected. But i must say i was eating cheese with this as a snack sooo maybe that din’t help. Ill prepared the rest over ice, see if i enjoy it more =s
So. I spent the last few hours watching videos about tea tasting. Twining’s has a youtube channel where the host, a British guy with surprisingly straight teeth, explains how the tea in made and goes into different steeping traditions, etc. Anyways! I thought he was just sloppy with how he was slurping up the tea. He slurped the tea like he was on crack! Turns out that is the way it is supposed to be done. Slurping the tea so that it becomes more aerated and the flavors can be better appreciated over the tongue. I just brewed myself some of my mango green from my adagio green sampler packet, and I must say that I can taste the difference.
Yes, this tea is very light in flavor.. both for the green tea and the mango, but I can definitely taste the subtle fruitiness that lingers afterwards. Very refreshing, probably would be a nice summer drink over ice. It’s already hit over 100 degrees here in Las Vegas so I am going to have to take a break from the hots teas soon..
I often wish tea scent came in body fragrances ;-)
