It smells like MANGO BISCUITS (::dies::).
Mangoes. Creamy, biscuit-y Mangoes. With almond flour.
I’d given up on finding a Mango tea I liked until stumbling on DFs excellent passion fruit flavouring (which isn’t remotely the same thing, but still). It’s not quite perfect and it’s simple, but I still love this tea to the point that I have to hide it from myself at times so I don’t drink it every day.
It may be a diluted, “baked” kind of Mango, and it’s unsurprisingly more of an almond cookie than a rich, tangy lassi (it’s missing the cardamom and yogurt mouthfeel) but it’s a Mango I can believe in (and buy in large quantities). The nilgiri base is also a plush, smooth cushion of a black tea. Not much of a nip, but enough to prevent this tasting flat.
Today I drank it alongside a dosa and sambar (South Indian Cuisine but still a fine pairing). And the sun is out! I can’t stay sad.

I love Lupicia’s mango, but this sounds wonderful too!
I’ve not had the pleasure of trying Lupicia’s mango teas (that ripe mango pouchong looks divine), but I imagine they’re better than this one (vague memories of trying momo and melon teas and remembering how vibrant and sweet they were).
Still, this one isn’t bad at all! :P
I love Dammann in general so I’m sure I’d enjoy it. Definitely on the list for my next order!
P.S. – Just let me know if you’d like to try the Ripe Mango Oolong, I have plenty to share! :3
Ahh, this sounds so delightful!
Oooh! This one was on my wishlist, but I was waiting for some tea notes XD. You’ve made this sound just delicious!

@Cameron B. – as a Canadian, trying Lupicia teas is a huge temptation; I may reach out when I get my (tea) life together :)
