Chilli Mango Tea is a warming yet fruity drink that brings to mind the most vibrant Mexican fiestas.
Its malty black tea base is a perfect canvas for the glorious sun-soaked flavours of mango and chilli. Inspired by the use of chilli with sweet flavours in Aztec recipes, a pinch of cactus flowers has been added to the tea for a light sweetness that perfects the combination.
Gold winner in the Great Taste Awards 2012, judges loved our Chilli Mango Tea, describing it as “A theatrical blend, producing well balanced fruit and tea flavours.”
As its origins suggest, Chilli Mango tea is a must for scorching hot summer days. However its warm spices make it equally comforting as a winter warmer. Try over ice in the summer or enjoy its lingering heat on frosty days.

Day 9 of the Whittard advent. There’s some exotic stuff in here; amaranth and cactus blossoms! There’s also mango and chilli (obviously…)
I was surprised this was a black tea in some ways, but perhaps I shouldn’t have been. The standard Whittard base, which has just about got to be Ceylon, is fairly citrussy and so it works pretty well. There’s very little malty sweetness to interfere with things.
There’s quite a lot of chilli heat initially, and loads of mango. Very juicy! The pepperiness of the mango and the background warmth and spiciness of the chilli pair pretty well, although it’s a fairly savoury combination. I quite like that, though. It was a nice change of pace from the sweeter teas I’ve been drinking recently. I’m basically finishing up my T2 cubes at work, so it’s been dessert teas a-go-go for quite some time now.
This probably isn’t a blend I’d want to drink all the time, but it’s one I’d definitely come back to from time to time. I’m glad to have tried it, since it’s not something I’d have picked off the shelf for myself. Got to keep challenging those preconceptions!
