This herbal tea comes in standard-sized stringed bags with a paper O Organics tag, all swaddled within a foil-lined paper pouch. That does a nice job of sealing and preserving the aroma, which is well-balanced and strong coming out of the dry bag, and which persists in-sup during steeping.

Some flavor combinations simply mate well: chocolate with mint, peanut butter with grape jelly, and turmeric with ginger, based on the large number of turmeric herbal, black and green teas also using ginger as a flavor. Granted, ginger isn't my favorite spice, but I've learned to tolerate and even like it in some products. Here, it still dominates, but the mango element takes the bitter edge off the ginger and imparts a sweeter, smoother, friendlier vibe than found in many turmeric/ginger teas. However, the aftertaste gets and stays a little spicy and warming in character, more so than the actual sip. I like that; it diversifies the experience.

The whole beats the sum of parts here. I dare say this store-brand product is the best turmeric tea I've had so far. While costlier than most store-brand teas, this is less expensive than most name-brand organic herbals, so I'm giving it a "good" value rating, due to that and the superior flavor.
