Mambo originated from the fusion of Cuban and American Jazz. Our Mambo blend is also a unique fusion of two similar, but quite different, styles: black teas from Yunnan and Wu Yi areas of China. Smoky, savory aroma, lingering notes of cocoa from the Yunnan, refreshing mineral finish from WuYi. Plush mouthfeel and succulent texture. The flavorful, rich body of our Mambo is guaranteed to jazz up your mornings and keep your feet tapping all day.

Mango Mambo
Argo TeaThis is my first time trying Mambo, but I generally like Chinese black teas (but not others- typically). I was expecting a more complex flavor. Nonetheless, it is a nice tea. It is a little smoky, fairly robust, and somewhat earthy. Not smoky like lapsang souchong, or earthy like a puerh. The flavors are much less overt than that. I will enjoy my sample tin, but will probably skip this and re-order a keemun instead.
I’ve just gotten back into drinking tea after having a burn out period. Now I’m happy to report that I’ve been having anywhere from 2-3 cups!!
I have been wanting to try this for a while now. I must admit I was somewhat skeptical when I smelled it. It has a very earthy smell to it, similar to hojicha. I expected not to like it as much as I wanted. I’m happy to report that was not the case. This tea has a really unique flavor it’s not too dry and not overly sweet. It’s somewhere in the middle but still has this very appealing taste.
This isn’t really my thing. It has a strong sort of vegetable taste that reminds me of my grandmother’s green beans. Very earthy, very dark flavor. I usually prefer fruity, herbal, and floral tastes, but if you like a strong black tea taste, you might like this. It has a very complex taste.
