Inspired by the thai signature dish. Mango Sticky Rice Green unites our slightly sweet, grassy, green tea with mango, coconut and pandan, producing a shining colour infusion.
Our unique green tea is hand-picked, quickly heated, and growing in harmony with the forested mountains of Northern Thailand.
Another one I very much wanted to try. Thanks so much, Cameron B! Huge green tea leaves from Thailand, with an occasional bit of fruit (mango, coconut). I love sticky rice teas, so this should be a good one. And it is! The green tea seems to me more like a Wen Shan Bao Zhong oolong, and that’s what I would guess in a taste test. The coconut is at the forefront and tastes more like toasted coconut. Really only hints of the mango and sticky rice. But the base is very buttery, so pairs really well with these flavors. Even the third steep doesn’t seem overdone at such hot temp, meaning I really do think this is an oolong, not a green tea… unless Thailand green tea is very forgiving with hot brewing. But it’s a great base for these subtle flavors! So it’s another tea that found another great new home. Where Cameron B was tasting suntan lotion coconut, I didn’t notice that at all— I noticed toasty coconut. And note to self: do a third steep. And also, next time, try the third steep at boiling.
Steep #1 // 2 teaspoons for a full mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 1 minute steep
Steep #2 // 35 min after boiling // 2 min steep
Steep #2 // 24 min after boiling // 2 min steep
Flavors: Butter, Coconut, Mango, Sticky Rice
So I have this bad habit of making orders from companies and being really excited about the teas, but then neglecting them because I’m trying to sip down other things. So I’m trying to make an effort to keep a tea from each haul on the counter with my sipdown teas, and right now I’m working on Monsoon and Simpson & Vail.
All that to say, this is the first tea I’ve tried from my order back in October! Sadly, for some reason it just doesn’t quite jive with me. It’s a green tea with mango and coconut flavors and pandan leaf. I think it’s the coconut that I’m not loving? It’s a little bit suntan lotion-y. Overall something about it is just slightly off for me. A shame, as the tea leaves are beautiful – huge and spindly.
So I think this is destined for the rehoming pile, as I’m sure someone else who loves coconut more than I do would probably appreciate it.
Flavors: Artificial, Butter, Coconut, Creamy, Floral, Mango, Sweet, Thick
So glad it went to a good home! And I agree, their teas are a bit odd. The rolled oolong almost seemed more like a green to me, complete with bitterness. But then the greens were quite mellow and smooth. All tasty though!
huh, maybe Monsoon is having a mixup.
