PACKAGING GUIDE
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 Wu Yi 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.

I love, love, love, love this tea!! Wonderful mix of the malty sweet taste of yunnan and the mineral/earthy twang of Wuyi. It's just about the perfect blend for this black tea lover!!

28 Jun ‘20 review: Woodsy and earthy aromas were noted in the bag. After steeping and in the cup I immediately noted nutty, chocolate, and malty flavors all the way to finish. Towards the end moderate black pepper zings and flavors were noted on tongue. Slight earthy undertones of an oolong were also present. A wee bit of sugar was added to smooth all this out. This tea is one best sipped warm too help bring out all these nice flavors. This is a great blend of different black teas that make it a very enjoyable morning tea to wake up to. Got my feets a-tappin’, too! (1/4 tsp sugar)

I've never described a black tea as delicate, but of all the black teas I've tried in my time, this one is the smoothest. There is no bitterness at all, none! I added sweetener and I don't regret it. Warm, toasty, nutty, slightly smoky, almost spicy sweet flavors are dancing in my mouth and on my tongue. This tea surprised me. Mambo is my new favorite straight black tea! Sip, sip away!

I love Mambo! I'm so happy it's finally back and I can use it in blends. It has a great spicy-smokiness that is not too strong. I just love it.

Ingredients & Lore

blended with yunnan jig tea & wuyi ensemble tea

The Mambo is a form of ballroom dance originating from Cuba in the 1940s. Similar to Salsa in style and timing, it has two forms, one based on the original from Cuba, and one based on the New York style that developed once the dance hit the states, including in the Palladium dance hall where the world's greatest mambo dancer, Pedro Aguilar, performed. Nicknamed 'Cuban Pete' after the famous song of the same name by Desi Arnaz (Ricky Ricardo from I Love Lucy), Aguilar also performed before England's Queen and Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson.
