So this one sounded good to me – it’s a black tea with mango, cardamom, and lavender. However, the lavender tends to overpower the other flavors in my experience. The mango and cardamom are both very subtle so it ends up mostly tasting like a lavender black tea. Not that the lavender is crazy strong or anything, just the other two flavors are so light that I can barely taste them.
For this last cup, I picked out all of the lavender flowers to see how it would affect the taste. I still taste a bit of lavender, just from the flavors melding as the loose tea sits. There’s virtually no mango to speak of, which is really disappointing to me. I do taste some cardamom, but it’s fairly light as well given how many pods were present.
A shame, the idea of this one sounded really good but it’s just missing a lot of the flavors I was excited for.
