The secret of this blend lies in the balance between two origins of black teas that form its backbone:

• The Blend: By combining the strength of Indian black teas with the smoothness and suppleness of Vietnamese black teas, Lupicia creates a perfectly balanced base. India provides structure and body, while Vietnam offers a velvety roundness that perfectly complements the exotic fruit notes.
• The Profile: This dual base ensures a silky texture on the palate, guaranteeing a long finish that enhances the fruit's aroma without any pronounced bitterness.

• Top Notes: An enchanting aroma of ripe, juicy, and sweet mango, providing immediate and satisfying indulgence.
• The Heart: A subtle touch reminiscent of a fine liqueur, adding a warm dimension and a liqueur-like elegance to the tasting experience.
• The Finish: A remarkable aromatic persistence where the strength of Asian teas and the sweetness of mango blend into a single harmonious bouquet.
• On the Nose: Exotic, intense, dominated by fresh mango and a hint of liqueur.
• On the Palate: Structured, with a rich texture supported by the Indian/Vietnamese blend.
• Liqueur: A deep, brilliant, dark amber color.

Inspired by a Japanese legend of patience and perseverance, this mango-flavored black tea is a true favorite among exotic fruit lovers. Here are the key points most frequently mentioned in our customer reviews (Certishopping reviews, Google reviews, and tasting notes):

Combining black tea with mango allows you to enjoy stimulating and protective properties while indulging your taste buds:

• Invigorating Action (Theine): Rich in theine, black tea promotes alertness and concentration. It's the perfect companion for breakfast or an energizing afternoon break.
• Rich in Polyphenols: Black tea contains theaflavins and thearubigins, powerful antioxidants that support cardiovascular health and combat oxidative stress.
• Comforting Effect: The natural sweetness of mango provides an immediate feeling of comfort, reducing the natural astringency of black tea for a smooth and well-rounded tasting experience.
• Healthy Alternative: Its naturally indulgent profile allows you to satisfy a sweet tooth without added calories.

• Double Origin: The blend of teas from India and Vietnam offers a complexity superior to single-origin teas.
• Tropical Delight: One of the best black teas for rediscovering the authentic and smooth taste of mango.

To appreciate the complexity of this India-Vietnam blend and the true character of its mango, careful preparation is recommended:

• Temperature: Use filtered or spring water, heated to between 85°C and 95°C. The heat is necessary to extract the richness of the two black teas and release the deep aromas of the fruit.
• Infusion Time: A steeping time of 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes is ideal to maintain the balance between the strength of the tea and the tropical sweetness.
• Dosage: Use approximately 2,5g to 3g of tea (one heaped teaspoon) per 150ml of water.
• The Iced Experience: This tea is a revelation when served iced. Prepare it as a cold brew (Mizudashi) by steeping 10g to 12g of tea in one liter of water in the refrigerator for 3 hours. The result is a healthy, refreshing, and naturally fruity beverage, with no added sugar.
• Gourmet Tasting: This tea is exceptional when paired with a coconut-based dessert or shortbread cookies, which highlight its structured and fruity character.
