If you're looking for the perfect tea to serve guests in terms of both taste and symbolism, look no further than Mango White. Both the tea and the fruit we've flavored it with have been used to honor visitors for thousands of years.

Mangoes, which have been grown throughout the Eastern world since before recorded history, have variously been served at weddings, placed before shrines, even had their leaves woven and hung from doorknobs the way people in the west hang Christmas wreathes. Many of these hospitable customs also extend into the Americas where it is believed mangoes were first planted by early Jesuit missionaries who had spent time in the East. White tea has a long history of hospitality as well. In fact, the Japanese tea ceremony, one of world's most intricate, has its roots in a Chinese Song Dynasty ceremony based on an early form of white tea. The intricate ceremony was brought to Japan by traveling monks and later developed into the highly stylized ceremony of today.
