This is such a refreshing and cooling beverage in the summertime. But I looooove anything with mango and mint. We use a Pinhead Gunpowder Tea blended with a bit of both Spearmint and Peppermint to compliment the tropical flavor of the Mango. Both mints are cooling and refreshing in the summertime heat. Give this one a try. You’ll love it.
