Organic Mango Tea: The Organic Mango Tea is an Assam Black tea that has aromatic organic mango bits and natural flavors. The brew is bright reddish in color and exudes a heady mango scent. It is a unique combination of ripe mangos and a full-bodied Assamese black tea that offers a stunning blend. You will be surprised at how much mango you can taste in every sip. The black tea is as smooth as can be and the mango hits you in the back of the mouth. It makes a great iced tea for all those hot summer days.

BREW HINT
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea ‘straight-up'
Iced tea-brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or ‘milky' when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
The cup has sweetness and delicate hints of island musk that peep out. Makes a superb iced tea.
Infusion: Bright and Coppery.
