Dear mango lovers, We had to write and pin this comment because we are getting some very personal comments filled with negative energy, and we don’t want that in our lives. We thought the disclaimer in description would be enough for all to understand that the mango tastings are not done to rate or devalue certain mangoes, we do it out of love for this wonderful fruit. Any mango variety grown in its optimal growing condition would be superior in taste to any other best mango in the world. Most newer varieties of mango trees in our garden are still young to produce except a few trees, so we source them from growers around which we disclose in video descriptions. Some of the fruit we pick from their trees ourselves. Plus, there are some varieties that just got released this year, or last year, or 2 yrs ago which no home grower has been able to grow yet, so we cannot (and won’t!) grow all the mangoes we taste in our videos; it makes no sense to us to grow a tree first and taste the variety later. And even then, taste from tree to tree of the same mango variety varies, plus year to year, even month to month there is variability. We thought every mango lover would understand that, but seems that some people are hurt and want to attack me personally. This will not be tolerated. Let’s have a healthy discussion instead! Please comment on how you felt tasting these mangoes this year instead, and make your own videos, the more diverse the taste of each mango the better, it is for everyone to learn - let’s avoid personal attacks, let’s be constructive and creative. As I said many times before, we are all different, and different opinions are welcome!
When you say Julie is spicy in flavor, what does spicy mean to you? Does it sting the mouth? Or is it a spice like flavor the way cinnamon is a flavor?
It is a specific pepper like taste thats more pronounced in some mangos and completely absent in others. It is more so closer to the skin. And most of the Indian mangos have that. I did not find that spicy taste in Mallika but it is there in Sonpari and Neelam. In FL mangos the variety O-15 has a distinct undertone of spiciness. It actually adds an extra dimension to the taste and makes it a more complex taste compared to straightforward lemon or orange flavored mangos like Lemon meringue or Orange sherbet.
