I got this as a sampler from Blue Monkey Tea because I attended their virtual event at a virtual tea festival. I quickly discovered that it’s an ITI blend and added it under them. I have Sara to thank for my tea detective skills.

When I opened the pouch, there was a strong mango scent, possibly from the “mango flavor.” The brewed tea smells similar. By the time I’d added it to the database, it was cool enough for me to drink. It’s very mango-forward. I only notice the chai spices towards the end of the sip. I do like it as a mango tea, but I was hoping for more of a rounded masala-chai-plus-mango experience. I can pick out a bit of cinnamon and ginger if I really concentrate.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Mango

Preparation
Boiling 2 min, 30 sec 5 g 16 OZ / 473 ML

Too bad the spices weren’t more evident. The blend sounds like it has the potential to be very tasty.

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
