The aromatic profile of the Mango Lover herbal infusion
The moment you open the bag, the scent of candied mango wraps around you. The brew, a lovely deep amber gold, then unfolds its notes in three distinct layers.
Up front, mango takes centre stage: lush and radiant, carried by the fruit pieces (31% of the blend) that ensure genuine aromatic depth. Pineapple lends a bright, tangy freshness in support.
At the heart, mandarin peel and orange slices introduce a rounded citrus warmth. This citrus backbone brings structure to the tasting experience, keeping any sweetness light and balanced.
On the finish, safflower and marigold petals offer a quiet, almost honeyed floral note that lingers on the palate. A scattering of strawberry pieces adds a welcome touch of tartness to round things out.
The result is a naturally fruit-sweetened drink, free from bitterness, that will delight both seasoned fans of fruity herbal infusions and those new to the world of caffeine-free blends.
How to brew this mango infusion
The way you brew shapes the balance of flavours. Here are the parameters our house recommends to bring out the best in this blend.
Dosage: use 15 to 20 grams of the blend per litre of water, roughly 2 heaped tablespoons. Since the fruit pieces are generous in size, do not be shy with the quantity.
Temperature: bring the water to a full boil at 100°C (212°F). Unlike more delicate green teas, fruit infusions not only tolerate fully boiling water, they need it to release their aromas properly.
Steeping time: steep for 6 to 10 minutes depending on the intensity you prefer. Six minutes gives a light, refreshing cup; ten minutes produces a fully fruity, full-bodied brew.
For a perfect iced version on a summer's day, brew the infusion hot, leave it to cool slightly, then pour over crushed ice. You'll have a homemade iced infusion, ideal for sipping in the garden or on the terrace. Try our Piña Colada herbal infusion for another taste of the tropics.
Storage and serving suggestions
Store the blend in an airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. The fruit pieces will stay aromatic for 18 to 24 months after opening. Avoid the refrigerator, as it introduces unwanted humidity.
For the best pairing, lean into indulgent notes: a buttery shortbread, a yellow fruit tart or a fresh pineapple carpaccio all complement the fruity finish beautifully.
