Thanks for passing some Alfonso down to me, OMGsrsly! The whole bag smelled like… peaches, I thought, and not mango. I had to separate it from the other samples because all the plastic bags were fruitastic.
I seriously thought it was peach this entire time, though. Like peach juice crystals, or sugary peach cocktail. I agree with OMGsrsly’s tip to ice this, so I made a nice jug o’ cold brew.
I still say it’s peach and not mango. I happened to have some dried mango earlier today and the two are worlds apart. The base is also a little on the dry side. Don’t know how else to describe it.
To be honest, now that I think about it, I’ve never been a fan of peach-flavoured things even though I love fresh peaches. Peach yogurt? Gross. Peach cocktail? Eh. But FWIW, for anyone who does like their peach-flavoured drinks, this is a much healthier alternative.
Ack mango perfume. I’ve finally come to accept I only like fresh mangoes. No tea has surpassed my ridiculous expectations. :P
Mango seems hard to capture as far as taste and perfumes go. A lot of times it can smell too…. Ripe? If that makes any sense lol
I really don’t care for fresh mango, so the teas are a good alternative. :) Yeah, this one is like sniffing an overripe mango. That’s exactly it!
Did I send you any of Lupicia’s mango teas? I can’t remember now. I haven’t even tried them myself but some peopel really love them.
You did! An Alphonso mango one, even. :)
