Teavana Mango Black Tea – Tropical Loose Leaf Blend
Our Mango Black Tea delivers a vibrant tropical escape in every cup. We blend premium Ceylon black tea leaves with real mango pieces, safflower petals, and natural tropical flavors to create a naturally sweet, full-bodied brew.
This loose leaf blend offers the bold character of black tea balanced with juicy mango notes that shine through whether you steep it hot or pour it over ice. Each 2-ounce pouch brews approximately 20 cups, making it perfect for daily enjoyment or sharing with guests who appreciate fruit-forward teas.
We source our black tea from high-elevation estates known for smooth, malty profiles that complement rather than overpower the mango essence. The result is a tea that tastes like biting into ripe tropical fruit while delivering the energizing qualities tea lovers expect from a quality black tea.

Ingredients & Flavor Profile
We craft our Mango Black Tea with a carefully balanced ingredient list that puts quality first. The base is premium Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, prized for its bright, crisp character and natural sweetness.
Real dried mango pieces provide authentic fruit flavor and visual appeal in every scoop. We add safflower petals for their subtle floral notes and vibrant color when steeped. Natural mango flavoring enhances the tropical profile without artificial aftertaste.
Brewing Instructions for Best Results
Hot Brewing Method
Measure one heaping teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of water. Heat fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil (200-212°F). Pour over tea leaves and steep for 3-4 minutes depending on desired strength.
Strain and enjoy immediately. For a sweeter cup, add honey or agave while the tea is hot. The mango flavor develops fully at the 3-minute mark, while steeping longer than 5 minutes can create bitterness.
Caffeine Content & Best Times to Enjoy
As a black tea blend, our Mango Black Tea contains moderate caffeine—approximately 40-60mg per 8-ounce cup when brewed for 3-4 minutes. This is roughly half the caffeine of an average cup of coffee, making it an ideal morning energizer or afternoon pick-me-up.
The caffeine level provides gentle alertness without the jitters some coffee drinkers experience. Many of our customers enjoy it as a breakfast tea paired with fruit or pastries, where the tropical notes complement morning meals.

Common Questions About Our Mango Black Tea
Each 2-ounce pouch of our Mango Black Tea yields approximately 20 cups when using the recommended serving size of one heaping teaspoon per 8 ounces of water.
The actual number of servings may vary slightly based on your preferred strength. If you prefer a bolder cup, you may use slightly more tea per serving. For iced tea preparation, we recommend doubling the amount to account for ice dilution.
Our Mango Black Tea contains moderate caffeine (40-60mg per cup), which is roughly half the amount in coffee but may still affect those with caffeine sensitivity.
If you're caffeine-sensitive, consider limiting consumption to morning or early afternoon. Alternatively, explore our caffeine-free herbal collection, which includes tropical options like Peach Tranquility and Pineapple Kona Pop that deliver fruity flavor without stimulants.
We include real dried mango pieces in every batch of our Mango Black Tea blend. You'll see visible fruit chunks along with safflower petals when you scoop the loose leaf tea.
We also add natural mango flavoring to enhance and brighten the tropical profile. This combination of real fruit and natural flavor creates a more robust, authentic mango taste than dried fruit alone could provide. There are no artificial flavors or colors in this blend.
Our Mango Black Tea has natural sweetness from the mango, so many customers enjoy it unsweetened. If you prefer added sweetness, we recommend honey, agave nectar, or simple syrup stirred in while the tea is still hot.
For iced versions, liquid sweeteners incorporate more easily than granulated sugar. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste—the mango flavor is quite pronounced and doesn't need much enhancement. A squeeze of fresh lime can also brighten the tropical notes without added sugar.
Black tea leaves can be steeped a second time, though the flavor will be significantly lighter. If you choose to resteep, increase the brewing time by 1-2 minutes to extract more flavor.
The mango essence diminishes notably on the second steep, so we recommend using fresh leaves each time for the full tropical experience. For best value, use the proper amount of tea per cup and enjoy a single, flavorful steep rather than multiple weak infusions.
Our Mango Black Tea is not certified organic. It contains Ceylon black tea, dried mango, safflower petals, and natural flavors with no artificial additives or preservatives.
This blend is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and contains no common allergens like nuts, dairy, or soy. However, it is processed in a facility that handles products containing these ingredients. If you have severe allergies, please contact our customer service team for detailed allergen information.
Loose leaf tea like our Mango Black Tea offers superior flavor and quality compared to standard tea bags. The whole and broken leaves have more surface area and essential oils than the tea dust typically found in bags.
You'll notice a fuller, more complex flavor with visible ingredients like real mango pieces. While loose leaf requires a tea infuser or strainer, the enhanced taste and approximately 20 servings per pouch make it worthwhile for tea enthusiasts. The aroma and freshness are noticeably stronger than pre-bagged alternatives.
