The mango is the national fruit of a few countries including India as they are the worlds largest cultivator. In Hinduism, the perfectly ripe mango is often held by Lord Ganesha as a symbol of attainment, regarding the devotees potential perfection. Mango leaves also play a large role in the culture.

Taster’s Review:

Do you love mango? Because this is the BEST mango tisane I’ve ever tasted!

The mango flavor is strong! But mango is not the only flavor here. I can taste hints of pineapple and tangerine. I don’t taste much from the strawberry, but every once in a while, it peeks its way through the other flavors. And here’s the best part … there is NO hibiscus in this! Yay! I’m so glad that Fusion Tea Room decided to leave the hibiscus out of this blend.

The overall flavor is sweet and fruity. It has a very nectar-like quality. I can almost feel the pulpy texture of the mango on my tongue. There is a hint of tartness to this – not a lot, just enough to keep things interesting.

Obviously, this tisane is mostly about the mango… but I like that I can taste these other flavors in there too. While mango is the guest of honor at this party, the mango seems happy to share the attention with some of its friends!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
