ARIEL Mango Flip

Our caffeine-free fruit infusion with mango bits and blueberries layered over our garden berry base – the tropical extension of our fruisane line. Available in 1 kg loose leaf bulk – a destination format for café programs serving a summer iced tea position, and for hotel and restaurant beverage menus running a tropical or fruit-forward menu. Real mango fruit in the leaf carries through to the cup; the ruby base brings depth that a single-fruit infusion can't reach.

Tasting Notes

A deep ruby red cup with golden flecks of mango, and a bright fruit aroma at the front. Mango leads – tropical, juicy, with the rounded sweetness of ripe fruit. Blueberry follows at the middle, adding a soft berry depth. The garden berry base sits underneath: blackberry and black currant dark and slightly tart, raspberry and strawberry sweeter, red currant a bright top note. Elderberry brings a soft winey depth. Hibiscus carries the cup's tart structure and its colour. The finish is clean, fruit-forward, with mango echoing through.

Blend

This is our garden berry fruisane base – apple, elderberry, beetroot, hibiscus, blackberry, black currant, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry leaves, and red currant – extended with real mango bits and blueberries for a tropical layer. The mango is present as real fruit in the leaf, not only as flavour: bits of dried mango contribute juicy character to the cup. Blueberries add a soft berry sweetness that bridges the tropical and the garden notes. Natural and artificial flavours round the profile. This is a fruit tea – a true fruisane, with no Camellia sinensis tea leaves and no caffeine.

Brewing

Steep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 94 °C for 5 minutes. Fruit infusions tolerate a long steep without turning bitter – useful in service environments where timing is not tight. Holds character on a second steep for an iced tea preparation. For iced service, brew at the same ratio and pour over ice – the mango character lifts and the cup's ruby colour deepens. At commercial scale, a 1 kg bag yields about 400 servings.
