Three minutes is a much better steep time for this tea, at least to my taste, although I’m surprised to still get a hint of bitterness on some sips. It’s amazing how much this tea smells like a fresh, ripe, juicy mango when brewed. I could just inhale the aroma all day. Once again the taste is mangoey but surprisingly floral, with possibly even a hint of jasmine, although I think I’m getting that less so this go-around. I really want to get that bitterness out of the cup, because I really want to love this tea. I guess the steeping temp is the next thing to adjust!

Do you like iced tea? This one seems like a good candidate for a cold brewed iced tea. 2 tsp of leaves for 8 oz of water (I usually do 4 c water 8 tsp tea). Stick in refrigerator for at least 8 hours, strain and sweeten to liking. I have some mango tea that I can’t seem to get the bitterness out of, and the cold brew really helped (plus the mango flavor is so refreshing!).
I haven’t typically been a fan of iced tea, but then again I haven’t really tried flavored iced tea. I think I would like it. Thanks for the tip, I definitely will try this iced!
