Ran out of peppermint tea a couple of weeks ago and really missed it so I bought a box of this to replace it. I’ve only ever had the Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea, so this was a new experience for me. I found that having this as a mix of both peppermint and spearmint to be very pleasant. The tea was very cooling and well, "refresh"ing. In my opinion peppermint is one of the best winter teas to have. I have no idea what tarragon tastes like or if I noticed it in this tea, but either way I loved it and would definitely consider repurchasing :)

I really hated this tea. It smelled like artificial maple syrup and tasted the same. No sign of any kind of mango in sight. What a let down.

Tried this at the suggested 1 heaping teaspoon to 8 ounces of water and added on teaspoon of sugar. It was a very weak tasting tea. Like hot, watered down fruit juice with a hint of strawberry. My plans for this tea in the future are:

1. Try again with 2 teaspoons instead of 1
2. Try it iced. (as a fruit based tea, surely it will be better this way)
3. Try mixing with some rooibos and maybe a little ginger to give it some oomph.

As of now this tea isn’t impressing me, but maybe it will be better in the future :P
