Sweet Tart - by Zill's High Performance Plants
WOW! This palm sized mango packs a knockout punch in the flavor department. The main theme is a bold, candy sweetness that is perfectly foiled by a very intense, pleasing sour flavor. When you bite closer to the peel, you get a blast of a resinous "Carrie" type flavor with a sour twang to it. If this mango was just a tad bit more sour it would be "too much" but it judiciously stops right at the brink of ecstasy.
The flesh is deep orange, truly fiberless, and oh-so-potent. You can nibble off a tiny bite the size of a grapefruit seed and it fills the whole mouth with pleasure & flavor.
I am fairly self-controlled when it comes to being tempted by the sweetness of fruit. I frequently eat a half a 'normal' mango and leave the other half in the fridge for later or tomorrow, no problem. The Sweet Tart was truly addictive - both physically and psychologically. I put some in the fridge and found myself with a knife in my hand, staring & salivating over it just 10 minutes later. You just WANT MORE and can't really help it... like BBQ potato chips, etc. Even if your brain were to "think" this mango is too sour, too intense or too mixed up & improper... your tongue will crave more because it rocks the taste receptors far harder than a typical fruit does.

A+. A masterpiece. Totally lives up to, or exceeds the name.
