An ancient Hindu legend recounts the story of the mango tree growing from the ashes of the sun princess who had been incinerated by an evil sorceress. When the mango ripened and fell to the ground, the beautiful sun princess emerged. Our bestselling Mango Tea combines the taste of Ceylon tea with the flavor of perfectly ripened mangoes. Sun princess sold separately.

Mango originated in Southeast Asia, where it had been cultivated for over four-thousand years. Since its discovery, mango groves have spread to many parts of the world, though mostly the tropical and sub-tropical climates. As a result, there are over a thousand different varieties of the mango plant in existence. The mango tree is an evergreen that will grow to 60 feet in height. But it's not benign. Mango leaves are toxic, and may be lethal to grazing animals. The mangos sold in the US mainly come from Mexico and the Caribbean.
