Replacement for Peet's Mango Iced Tea?

May 22, 2017 3:23 PM

Now that it's iced tea season again, we are dearly missing the Mango Iced Tea that Peet's no longer sells. Are there any fans of that tea out there that can recommend a good replacement? It was a black tea with a mild mango flavor, not sweet or herbal at all.

Trader Joe's has a mango black tea that I like for making iced tea.

I'm a fan of Ahmad Mango Black Tea. (I'm also happy to throw a teabag in an envelope to you if you want to try it.)

They've given it the unfortunate subtitle of "Metabolic Frolic," yet Republic of Tea's Mango Ceylon sounds like what you're looking for. I generally don't like fruity, flavored, or sweet teas, but this one is palatable to me. (It is neither particularly metabolically impactful nor frolicksome.)

I hate when companies do this. My significant otter loved some flavor that Bai made, and then they stopped making it. Anyways, Bai still makes what they call Malawi Mango, and you might give that a try and see how you like it.
