Review: This is definitely one only to have cold. The smell is intensely artificial - coconutty and sweet in a way that isn't appetising. We aren't fans of putting sugar in tea, so the moment we see sugar listed as an ingredient, we know it's not for us. And we have no idea why sugar is needed, when you've already got two forms of mango and two forms of coconut in there - how sweet is sweet enough!?
We had it in our local T2 shop, put on ice on a summer afternoon, and it was delicious - like tart mango, with a sweet cream flavour. At home, we made it hot and we couldn't taste mango at all. It was more like acid, with a strong coconut after-taste - and flavouring. The artificial flavour, and the acid, lingers in the throat and is simply bad. But there's no getting away how lovely it was on ice, so maybe this is best enjoyed as a sweet iced treat and not really as a tea. For that reason, we're not marking it 'avoid' - but we recommend that you don't drink it hot. Best time of year to drink this: Summer - and only when it's on ice Best time of day to drink this: AfternoonBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to our blog so you don't miss out on tea reviews, new flavour announcements, recommended tea accessories, and much more!
