Next up in my journey through the drinks of Madison's NessAlla kombuchary (kombuchery?) is their Mango Turmeric.
The stuff was rather hazy and this dulled its light golden hue. It smelled like kombucha - that tangy herbal aroma along with - quelle surprise - mango. There was also some pineapple in there.
It tasted rather thick and heavy - like those Libby nectars that I drank as a kid. However, there was a nice bite to it which I suspect was part fizz, part vinegar. Again, mango and pineapple were prominent with orange and ginger less so. All of the fruitiness obscured most of the tea flavor though the tropical medley wasn't the worst flavor ever. As it warmed some tannins came through, especially on the finish.
Not bad but definitely heavy on the fruit. A busy formula that made me wish there was more tea flavor. For such a viscous feel on my tongue, it is rather low in sugars/carbohydrates.
