Shelly’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "The flavor was still overwhelmingly sweet and fruity in a bad and fermented way."
| ||||||||
I requested this tea to try and when it arrived, all I remembered was that it was a flavored rooibos. Compounded by the fact that the teabag packet was almost all in Japanese, I had no idea what I was in for! I brewed it with the utmost expectations, thinking that I could never dislike a flavored red tea.I was wrong. My first mistake was disregarding the sickeningly sweet aroma emanating from the tea bag. Almost nauseating, really. I kept going, thinking that the tea itself would be mellower in comparison to fragrance which is almost always the case. This proved to be true; however, the flavor was still overwhelmingly sweet and fruity in a bad and fermented way. So at this point I decided to look up the ingredients online.
The website lists the ingredients as non-fermented green rooibos and mango with some citrus as well. I have come to the realization I don't like mango. I've tried Stash mango black tea and didn't care for it, either. Such is life. Such is...Mango! That being said, I do want to try almost every other flavor on Lupicia's website because they all look tantalizing!
This review is based on that discovery of my taste buds. I don't like mango and this was over-the-top with the sweet flavor. Those who really love mango would do well to try this but it isn't for me.

This I’s a tea that has mango and roobios in I’t. This tea smelled really good and fruity. But sadly the taste left something to be desired. I’t kind of had a strange twang or off taste to I’t.
And the fruity taste did not taste like I’t smelled. And sadly I could barely finish drinking the cup I made.
My Rating:
3/10
