Fruit-forward. Black tea backbone. No apologies.
Ceylon black tea is already doing a lot of things right — it's bold without being harsh, full-bodied without being heavy, and it takes flavor additions without losing itself in them. Mango is the right call here. Ripe, juicy mango flavor comes through clean against the dark tea base, and marigold flowers add a quiet floral note that keeps it from going too sweet. It's a fruit-forward black tea that still tastes like a black tea.
High caffeine means this earns its spot in the morning rotation. Steep it hot and drink it straight — it doesn't need anything. Or brew it strong, let it cool, and pour it over ice. The mango holds up cold and the whole thing gets brighter and a little more tart, which is not a bad thing on a warm afternoon.
Three minutes gets you something clean and bright. Five minutes gets you more depth. Either way, it's a quick cup.

How to Brew
Hot:
1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Bring water to a full rolling boil (212°F). Steep 3–5 minutes. Pull at 3 minutes for a brighter, fruit-forward cup; go to 5 minutes for more tea depth. Honey is optional but works well with the mango notes.
Iced (hot brew method):
Brew hot as directed with slightly less water than usual. Let it cool, pour over ice. The mango flavor gets brighter cold — it's a different cup than the hot version in a good way.
Cold brew:
2 teaspoons per cup of cold water. Refrigerate 8–12 hours. Pull and pour over ice. No gear required beyond whatever you brewed it in.
One 2 oz bag makes approximately 22–28 cups depending on brew strength.
Storage Tips
Store in a cool, dry spot away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Reseal the bag after each use. Keep away from strong odors — black tea picks them up easily.
FAQ
Is this tea caffeinated?
Yes — it uses a black tea base, so it has a moderate to high amount of caffeine. Solid morning or afternoon territory.
Does this tea taste sweet without adding sugar?
It has a naturally fruity and bright character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. How sweet it tastes depends on brew strength and what you add, but it's genuinely good on its own.
Can I make this iced?
Yes. Brew hot as directed, then let it cool and pour over ice. For a stronger iced version, brew with slightly less water than usual so it doesn't go flat when the ice melts. The mango flavor gets brighter cold — it holds up well.
Can I add milk to this tea?
Mango in Black works best on its own or over ice — milk softens the mango brightness and can make the floral note from the marigold go a little flat. If you want to try it, coconut milk is the most compatible option and leans into the tropical direction already in the blend.
What's in this blend?

How many cups does one bag make?
