And the tea of the day today is....Mango Madness!
Name: Mango Madness
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: White
Dry Scent: There is lots of sweetness here, primarily the scents of dried pineapple and dried mango, but they are overlaid with the grassy scent of white tea and the earthy bite of the safflower petals. Actually, I would say that safflower (smelling similar to saffron, if not as strong) is the strongest scent I get off this, dry.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: Sweet, but not too sweet. There is definitely mango in the flavour, and pineapple, but the strongest note I get in this is the tangerine. A good blend of "summer" fruits overall, but not nearly as mango-y as, say, Mango Lassi. Still, it's very tasty and I would not turn my nose up at another cup or three!
Food/Drink Pairings: This is something of a dessert tea if you're intending to have it with "traditional western" fare, but it would meld beautifully with Indian main course dishes or any other type of curry, and it is also really wonderful iced with a splash of some fruity vodka thrown in for good measure.
