The next picture will show the colours of each infusion better.
First Infusion:
Tea: 1 tsp
Water: 1/2 cup
Water Temperature: 75 degrees Celcius
Brew Time: 30 seconds
Review: Can taste the staleness quite obviously, overrides the mango smell. Very Slightly astringent.
Second Infusion:
Tea: 1 tsp
Water: 1/2 cup
Water Temperature: 70 degrees Celcius
Brew Time: 30 seconds
Review: Staleness smell is gone, but the mango aroma in this can be easily distinguished as artificial. If one were to not mind that too much, it's not a bad cup of tea. No astringency or bad aftertaste.
Third Infusion:
Tea: 1 tsp
Water: 1/2 cup
Water Temperature: 85 degrees Celcius
Brew Time: 25 seconds
Review: Comparable to the second brew with less of the fake mango smell. The green tea base on its own is just so-so.
To sum it up: too stale, too fake, and nothing special
Yeah personally I've noticed that mango flavored teas lack a certain expectation that I usually have.
