Description
Mango Mist Tea
Mango, known scientifically as Mangifera indica, often takes the title of the “king of fruits.” This tropical delight originates from East India, Burma, and the Andaman Islands, dating back to around the 5th century B.C. Today, farmers cultivate mangoes in warm regions worldwide, making them one of the most popular fruits globally. Beyond their delicious taste, mangoes hold significant cultural importance in the Eastern world, symbolizing peace, tranquillity, and harmony.
Cultural Significance
Legend has it that Buddha found solace in the shade of mango trees, highlighting their spiritual connection. In parts of India, people revere mango trees as sacred symbols of love and abundance. Some even believe that sitting beneath a mango tree can grant wishes. This reverence continues today, as during Punggol, the Hindu New Year, families hang fresh mango leaves outside their homes to bless the year with peace and prosperity.
Flavour Profile
Mango Mist tea captures the essence of this beloved fruit. Infused with the fresh, piquant character of mangoes, it evokes memories of sunny days. When you blend this flavor with our astringent Ceylon tea, it creates a delightful harmony of sweetness and brightness. Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, this tea provides a refreshing treat that transports you to tropical bliss.
Brewing Suggestions
To enjoy the full flavour of Mango Mist, brew your tea with freshly boiled water for 1 to 3 minutes. For a refreshing iced version, steep a stronger brew and pour it over ice, garnishing with a slice of lime for an extra zing.
Quality Ingredients
We source our teas from the top three tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya experience peak quality during January and February, while Uva and the eastern estates peak in July and August. This dual peak period allows us to select only the finest teas for our blends. These high-grown regions produce classic Ceylon teas, known for their floral aromas, bright coppery colour, and balanced astringency.
Using natural flavouring oils instead of artificial additives ensures that every cup of Mango Mist tea delivers an authentic and enjoyable experience. So, sit back, sip, and let the vibrant flavours of mango whisk you away to sun-drenched shores—Mango Mist awaits!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
