Work – 1:30 PM
Drinking two of my favorite flavored tea companies at work today! ❤
So apparently an Alphonso mango is a variety of mango that is “considered to be among the most superior varieties of the fruit”. Well I’m just going to keep picturing it as a jolly Italian anthropomorphic mango named Alphonso who would be likely to appear on some sort of children’s show (alongside his equally tropical friends, Lorenzo Papaya and Giovanni Guava). Yep, much better interpretation in my opinion.
ANYWAY! This is a tasty tea. The flavoring seems the same as their Ripe Mango Oolong, which I thoroughly enjoy (and need to reorder). It’s very juicy, sweet mango with a touch of exotic floral. The base tea is mild and a bit malty. For some reason, I’m tasting a bit of banana, maybe through some interesting interaction between the tea and flavoring.
All in all, it’s very good. Personally, I prefer tropical flavors to be on a green or oolong base, so I’ll probably order the Ripe Mango Oolong instead of this one. But would definitely recommend it to someone who likes a tropical black tea!
Edit: As it cools, getting more and more banana! Weird!

And they all ride around on scooters shouting “Ciao!” at each other, naturally.
Ciao!
I love the Mango oolong, and the Alfonso mango is still in stock… Maybe I should get one of these too.
@Alita and derk – CIAO BELLA!
@Kawaii – If you’d like, I can send you a sample when I get home this weekend.
Cameron, no no that’s ok. I have plenty of your samples to work through. I finished the Lupicia samples and now will start on the others. :D I ordered some plastic baggies from Amazon and when they get here Monday, I will begin my “thank you” package to gift back to you. ^^
