Peach Mango (Herbal)

We have a ittle coffee/tea bar in the lunch room where I work and this is one of the offerings.
You pretty much get what is advertised; peach and mango with a little sweetness. Not a terrible choice if you’re after something strictly herbal but I prefer my tropical teas somewhat more juicy and flavourful.

Ok, just a quickie review. I had a cup of this at church on Sunday. We have a cafe section of our building where you can sit and have a cup of tea or coffee and listen to the service if you are not the type of person to really participate. I was feeling pretty shakey on Sunday (Low Blood Sugar) and needed a pick me up. So a bite or two of pecan bar along with a cup of tea was the answer.
However, I should note, I wanted something with some caffeine, and I noticed that this was herbal AFTER I opened the bag. Not wanting to waste it, I grabbed a second bag of tea literally labeled “Black Tea”. I’m pretty sure it was GIANT store brand plain black tea. I put both bags into a cup of water (they had a kettle there) and steeped for about 3 minutes.
Results were rather pleasing. The peach mango was both sweet and slightly musky which is to be expected from this combination. However, by mixing it with straight CTC Black, it tempered the Peach Mango flavor and made it much more balanced. It was mighty tasty. So tasty in fact, that I made myself a second cup of this combination after services had ended (I was waiting for my ride). Very yummy.
Note: I’m not sure how good Peach Mango herbal would be on its own. Like I said it was both musky and sweet and I can see how this herbal would be too overpowering on its own. So yeah, if you have any of this, and don’t know what to do with it, mix it with a straight CTC Black. You can thank me once you do.

I drank this over the weekend while visiting my in-laws. I should preface my review by saying that although I love peaches and some peach-flavored foods, most peach-flavored teas have been a major disappointment to me. Usually they are far too sweet and have a strange aftertaste. I still try them on occasion since I keep hoping to find one I like, but usually I can’t even finish a cup. But I did finish a cup of this! I definitely tasted the usual artificial peach flavor with it’s weird aftertaste, but the mango really made a difference. Since there were two flavors here, the peach wasn’t as concentrated so it wasn’t nearly as sweet and the aftertaste was less pronounced. The mango flavor mostly melded into the peach rather than standing on its own, but the overall effect was reasonably pleasant. This is probably not something I’ll buy, but I’ll probably have another cup of it next time I visit my in-laws assuming they haven’t drunk it all by then!
