“Wild Mango” Green Tea, gr. C
Wild organic green tea from Thailand, made from the second and third leaves.
This tea has been awarded the Gourmet Medal at the AVPA’s annual tea competition in Paris in 2022 in the category “green tea with weak buds”.
Material
This variety of trees grows only in one area in Thailand, it is well-read organoleptically and can be identified as a standalone kind–in no other places have I met this flavor. The trees grow on a slope in real biodiversity, on nonagricultural land, this is 100% organic tea.
Our Assam oolong is made from the same kind of trees and by the same farmers. Generally, making oolongs from Assam bushes is not a very good idea, but these trees are fitting as an exception. And the producers are definitely the best masters of green tea in Thailand.
Organoleptic properties
In the aroma of washed tea, two main melodies are easy to notice: fresh green mango and tomatoes. Thanks to tomatoes, by the way, it is very reminiscent of Biluochun.
The flavor is powerful, and intense: fresh tropical fruit, mango, herbal notes, caramel, and oolong shades.
Since this tea is from old trees, it withstands boiling water, although cooling it down a few degrees will help you to reveal the secret, delicate side of the tea.
Over time, this tea will become more and more reminiscent of sheng pu-erh, with beautiful dried fruit melodies. So there's no risk in buying here–the tea won't go bad.
The material is rich, so the tea steeps endlessly.
The effect is not weak either - relaxing, soothing and mind-gathering.

It is ideal tea for the morning, the flavor is varied, fruity and berry, I liked the tea, and I recommend it.
I like this tea very much. I do not like strong or bitter green teas, for the first pot I made, I put two small teaspoons of the loose-leaf (which wasn't much due to the size of the leaves) in a 1.5 liter glass tea pot and let it infuse for about 1 minute before pouring. For the water temperature, I set my kettle to 90 degrees. The result was a light, soft, and slightly sweet, from the mango element, tea, which was perfect for me. For the second mug, I filled it half way and added some more hot, but not boiling water. I did the same for the third mug.
I love Genmaicha tea and this Wild Mango Green Tea reminded me slightly of this Japanese tea, with roasted rice.
I can highly recommend this tea, and would say to experiment with how much to infuse or seep to find the right taste for you.
Wild Mango Green had a strong mango aroma to the raw leaves before it was brewed, but only a faint fruity mango scent after brewing. It was mostly just a normal green tea flavor. The first cup had strong grassy notes which mellowed in the second cup. Since it improved on the second cup and had a really lovely scent raw, I think it might make a good sun tea, and I plan to try it that way next time.
One of the best green teas I've ever tried. The description above fits my impression of it perfectly (minus tomato notes:) It has the creaminess of high-mountain oolongs and is fruity like no other green tea. On later steepings, the taste reminds of a young yet well-balanced sheng pu-erh. Unlike many other green teas, this one easily withstands multiple infusions without losing taste or complexity. And all of this is followed by the long, mouthwatering finish. All in all, this tea is nothing short of amazing.
A very unusual green tea made from organic raw materials harvested from wild trees. The name "Wild Mango" reflects the essence of the tea. I recommend that you begin your introduction to the tea with the aroma from the heated teapot before brewing. The aroma and flavor of mango, the first tomatoes of July, plus this will be intertwined with the creamy tones of oolong.
For the first steeps, I cooled the water, gradually increasing the temperature. On the second thermos (0.7 liters) brewed with boiling water and the tea became more like sheng pu-erh.
Will definitely order this tea again!
