Mango Lemon Green Tea is a flavored green tea combining the tropical sweetness of mango with the bright zest of lemon over a light, grassy Chinese green tea base. The combination is refreshing and naturally sweet, with the green tea providing a gentle vegetal backbone that complements the tropical fruit without competing with it. This style works as well cold-brewed as it does steeped hot.
The green tea base is typically a medium-bodied Chinese green — similar in style to Gunpowder or a light Dragonwell — that provides enough body to carry the mango and lemon without the astringency of a Japanese Sencha, which would clash with the fruit.
In the cup, Mango Lemon Green brews a pale gold with a bright, tropical-citrus aroma. The body is light, the sweetness natural, and the finish clean and refreshing.
