The Patio Classic This is the tea that belongs in a pitcher on a sunny table. We start with a base of organic Ceylon black tea—famous for its crisp, brisk character—and infuse it with the essence of ripe tropical mango. To finish, we scatter vibrant organic safflower petals throughout the dark leaves, creating a blend that looks as sunny as it tastes. Why It Works Texture is everything in iced tea. Ceylon tea has a natural astringency (a "dry" finish) that makes it incredibly refreshing when served cold. When you pair that briskness with the juicy, floral sweetness of mango, you get a cup that satisfies the thirst without needing a single grain of sugar. The Iced Ritual Flash Chill. For the best flavor, do not let it cool slowly on the counter (which can make it cloudy). Brew a strong concentrate with hot water, steep for 4 minutes, and pour immediately over a tumbler full of ice. This "shocks" the tea and locks in the bright mango top notes.
