Description

Mambo originated from the fusion of Cuban and American Jazz. So it makes an ideal name for our unique mix of teas from the Yunnan and Wuyi regions of China. With smoky highlights and flavorfully rich body, our Mambo tea is guaranteed to rev up your engine each morning. And keep your feet tapping all day long.

Story

The Mambo dance originated in Cuba, among its Haitian immigrants. The fusion of Swing and Cuban music produced this fascinating rhythm and in turn created a new sensational dance. The Mambo dance is attributed to Perez Prado who introduced it at La Tropicana night-club in Havana in 1943. It first appeared in the United States in New York's Park Plaza Ballroom - a favorite hangout of enthusiastic dancers from Harlem. The Mambo gained its excitement in 1947 at the Palladium and other renowned places such as The China Doll, Havana Madrid and Birdland.

"DELICIOUS! One of the best teas I've tasted in a long time. Rich, creamy, flavorful. Strong without being bitter or leaving a bad aftertaste. Lovely cup of morning tea. I brewed one VERY heaping teaspoon in my Ingenuitea for 3.5 minutes. Definitely will reorder!"

"I just love this stuff. I really don't know how to describe the flavor.. It is different than all the other blacks I've tried. It makes a wonderful morning tea though, and a very nice base for blending as well."

"This is a deliciously intense, earthy, powerhouse of a tea. (Overbrewing should be carefully avoided)"

"Smoky, complex, I love it either cold black or hot with milk and sugar. Great flavors and lends itself well to cooking or smoking of meats. "
