My sample of Cranberry Mango consists of what appear to be good quality, fresh, deep green leaves mixed with sizeable pieces of both cranberry and mango. The mellow sweetness of the mango is the most apparent element to the aroma of the dried leaves. I allowed the first infusion to steep for 1 minute and found that this is not a green tea blend that forgets it is a green tea first and foremost. The green tea base trends towards the vegetal in my estimation, but the mango adds a bit of sweetness at the beginning of the sip that is then rounded out by the slightest tartness from the cranberry at the end. The tartness of the cranberry is actually more apparent to me in the aftertaste. TeaGschwendner's website states that the green tea base is a blend of green teas from China and Ceylon.I allowed the second infusion to steep for closer to 3 minutes and it was still very good. By the 2nd infusion, the leaves had at least quadrupled in size, leading me to believe I may not have needed to use as much dry leaf as I originally started out with. I would recommend this tea to those who already love pure green tea and are looking to branch out into some lightly flavored greens as well as fans of flavored greens who still want to know that they are indeed drinking a green tea.
