Mango Diablo

To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about this tea. The bf loves it, despite claiming he hates mango. And this tea is wha-bam mango. Also spicy, but more of a throat-spicy and not tongue-spicy, as another “drinker” pointed out. I’m not a fan of hugely spicy food, and I still haven’t decided if this is over the threshold for me, yet. I’ll have to ponder it over some more.

One of the things that I did like is that despite leaving the ball of tea in my cup for far too long as per steeping instructions on the packet, there was no bitterness like you usually get with green teas. So that’s a major plus in my books; I usually forget about my tea for up to 15 minutes before remembering to drink it. Sometimes the bitterness gets too overwhelming to finish the glass.

This gets a “sideways thumbs”. I’ll have to decide after a few more cups if I like it enough to buy it again.

Now that is a spicy meat-a-ball, er, I mean tea.
Dry, the mango smells so good. I couldn’t wait to jump in.
Steeped: I found the mango to be very weak, but I need to mention that I didn’t use as much leaves as they suggest. I very rarely do. I always find using the amount they say makes it too strong for me. This time I wonder if I should have done the amount that they suggested. At the same time, the kick of the chilis is unreal. It is definitely a spicy tea, which I’m not use to at all.
I do like this tea. It’s quite nice. It would have to be one of those ones that I reach for when I need something different and something to give me a kick.

I got this tea iced the other day and it was pretty good
I was expecting it to be a lot spicier But it there was just a spicy aftertaste
In all a good one time tea

Looks: Light and Golden, some tinges of green
Smells: Strong Mango
Taste: I usually like strong mango taste with my tea and didn’t find it with this one. It defiantly smells stronger than it actually is. There was a subtle tingle going down at the end that I suspect was suppose to be the heat. Not as spicy as I thought it would be but still pleasant. This wouldn’t be my goto mango tea but its still a nice drink if your looking for something to warm you up.

SPICY!! HOT!! Mango? Not so much. Maybe I need to add more dry tea than required on the package label because I found it weak and slightly watery but spicy hot. It’s so strange because to smell it in the tin, the mango makes my mouth water!! I will try it again tomorrow and we’ll see. I’m not unhappy with it because I enjoy the hotness of it, but come on mango, speak to me!!

another winner! really great mango flavour, works nicely with the green tea.
i didnt get any heat from the chilies until a few sips in, and even then it was a light tingle, which is great for me because i dont appreciate anything TOO spicy.
awesome!

Daydreamer is one of my go-to teas right now – so I was excited when I saw Mango Diablo in the store today. Brought some home, steeped it and sipping it right now!

Clean, crisp green tea with a mango flavour that is nicely balanced, not overwhelming – you can taste a hint of the chili and there is a pleasant lingering spiciness that builds as you sip it. Also excited to try it iced!

Backlog. I tried this on the weekend and I really wanted to like it. But sadly it was just too spicy for my liking. The mango flavour was good, but the spicy heat at the back of my throat with each sip was just horrible. Then after it was finally done, the after taste stuck around as well. Just not good.

So it turns out a friend of mine bought 100g of this right before it was discontinued thinking it was a different tea. She didn’t like it so it’s made its way to my cupboard! I decided to give it a go iced. Unfortunately I then forgot about it, so it ended up steeping a lot longer than I had intended, but no bitterness so no harm done. The worst thing that seems to have happened is that it is VERY sweet, but not bad.

Overall having it cold seems to bring out the chili. It’s still not spicy if you’re used to spicy, but it has a kick to it which I really enjoy. Then the juicy ripe mango comes in along with…melon? Honeydew or cantaloupe, and very juicy. I do really enjoy thing one. Fresh, crisp, juicy, and some of my favourite flavours. Awesome!

Sipdown, thankfully.

I think I used to drink this hot. Which must be the only way I could stand it. I cold brewed it the other day and ew. Something you expect to be refreshing burning your mouth is NOT a pleasant sensation. And I don’t really like very spicy foods.

I dumped it in the sink.
Good riddance to a weird tea!
