(16 reviews)
Mambo originated from the fusion of Cuban and American Jazz. Our Mambo blend is also a unique fusion of two similar, but quite different, styles: black teas from Yunnan and WuYi areas of China. Smoky, savory aroma, lingering notes of cocoa from the Yunnan, refreshing mineral finish from WuYi. Plush mouthfeel and succulent texture. The flavorful, rich body of our Mambo is guaranteed to jazz up your mornings and keep your feet tapping all day. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes

I love x 10 this tea!! Wonderful combo of the malty sweet flavor of Yunnan with the mineral/earthy goodness of Wuyi. One of my absolutely favorite teas!! Wonderful hot or cold, and blends nicely with other teas. Multiple steeps as well. Love it!!!!

Very smooth black blend. The packet of dry leaves smells almost peppery to me. Once, brewed my nose simply picks up "strong black tea". This tea is very smooth and bold; I did not pick up on much astringency. I did brew it ever so slightly under 3 minutes. I feel like this tea fits quite nicely in the bold breakfast category. I wish I had tried it with a splash of milk, but alas, the liquid in my mug disappeared that quick.

This one tasted just OK to me. I didn;t detect any standout notes. I'm glad I tried it, because I was curious about it and I like Yunnan Jig. But I wouldn't get it again~

Mambo black tea is one of my go to black teas in the morning. I love the boldness, robust, malty and lightly smokey. Mambo is great with blending with other flavors, especially with adagios Fandom blends.

Delicious tea with woodsy, malty flavors and just a little astringency. It tasted best when it cooled down to a warm temperature. I steeped at 200 degrees for 4 minutes and added raw honey eventually but it was also delicious without sweetener.

This is a woody and robust tea that is full bodied and delicious. It’s a great start to the morning.

Woody and earthy, smooth and sweet, nutty and smokey, malty and delicious- this blend has it all! I can see why people are so excited it's back in stock. I steeped at 200⁰ for 4 minutes to avoid any potential bitterness and it's perfect. Different notes of the black and oolong teas make themselves known from sip to sip and adding some honey brought out the malty notes even more. Definitely up for dancing after a cup of this!

This is earthy and malty with a smooth mouthfeel. There is also a bit of natural sweetness, and no bitterness. A lovely tea to enjoy plain.

A Dark, creamy, rich flavorful blend. a nice cup of morning tea, but a typical black tea with a slight malty flavor. I brewed for 5 mins, and took a CommuniTEA suggestion and sweetened with some brown sugar and a bit of milk.

The slight silky rain aftertaste is a thing. I’d say a good thing. This is actually my go-to. I personally don’t get the smokey. To me it tastes fresh and bright. But I do tend to like oolong, black, and pu-erh more that greens and whites. I love this tea.

I smelled chocolate when I opened this tea. Brewed, it had a pleasant toasted flavor.

A tea that really took my by surprise, usually I don't go for bolder flavor black teas but the oolong in this lightens it up and it has such a rich and wonderful flavor.

Less dazzling than expected from the description. Earthy with smokey notes, but not necessarily exceptional.

Very dry and astringent. The smokey taste is definitely present. Not more than ten percent is needed in any blend.
