Decided to have a batch of this since I’ll be heading down to the Urban Tea Merchant this week for some intel. :D

It’s… mango tea. I’ll have to cold brew some to see if it’s better that way. There’s loads of mango and vanilla, but it’s almost woody and seriously astringent, and it feels like I’m breathing perfume. I steeped at 195F for 4 minutes… it shouldn’t be astringent.

Sadly this doesn’t make me excited to try more of their teas. Especially considering the cost of some of them. However, I will go and get some stuff… FOR SCIENCE! And for a curious friend. :)

Good! :) I emailed them as well. Their website SUCKS and it took about 5 minutes of clicking to get their support email, not their reservations email.
