 | "A pleasant mango taste saves what would otherwise be a fairly unremarkable iced tea..."
|
I don’t know it for the fact, but I’ve always just sort of assumed that the iced teas I order in California - which at least in Napa and San Francisco have been absolutely perfect - were mango-flavored. Its sort of a non-descript, faint citrus-y flavor and for whatever reason, I’ve always ascribed it to mango. It may be, it may not. But because of that, I was very much looking forward to trying China Mist’s Mango Iced Tea.
In the end, it wasn’t half bad. Its still missing that crisp, clean flavor I’m looking for, but the mango flavoring works very well. Its got a tinge of artificiality to it, but certainly its quite a bit tastier than their Prickly Pear.
Its not quite to the point where I’d say I’d definitely buy it again, but certainly I won’t have any compunction about brewing up another batch in the near future. Of all the iced teas I’ve tried to date in the Quest for the Perfect Iced Tea (QPIT), this one’s got a tenuous hold on first place.
