Zands: my process to reviewing the mangos starts at the grove with the haul. Next mangos are brought to a separate table off to the side in my living room where every mango is at differing stages of ripeness due solely to when they were picked by the seller. Since I buy in bulk, many mangos will ripen simultaneously and I may eat up to 5 mangos in a day some in am before my 8-8 work shift and then at night afterward. I use note pad on my ipad to take notes of measurements, taste, texture, pics ect as I eat the mangos. When I write the review it takes time, and after a 12hr day standing on my feet I can only write so many in a night so a review is most of the time done next day but sometimes same day like on my days off. The issue with dating mangos of their ripeness and listing their early, mid, and late season is problematic because A) I do not grow every cultivar and lack first hand knowledge of exact season, B) this year with the multi blooming phenomenon every grove owner will tell you all their varieties have been extended much later than usual and this is not normal.
As for mangos I didn't like, maybe I wasn't blunt enough in my description of the banana mango from ensey's or the wise mango from Excalibur and I didn't care for the eye wincing of sweet tart or the taste of royal purple. I am really waiting till the end of season to decide on my favorites and least for now.
