Which mangos did you find most delicious this year's season? Here's the place to post your Top 5 or top 10...
1. Sweet Tart - This season was the best I've ever had, so delicious its unbelievable
2. Maha Chanok - has the most complex and elegant flavor, more subtle than a Sweet Tart
3. Fruit Punch - amazing taste but the fruit is extremely sweet & large - a "family sized" mango
4. Edgar - seriously good, hopefully it will be released
5. Lemon Zest - lots of hype surrounding this mango, justifiably so A good mango, no doubt, but didn't really WOW me this year--I do see what the appeal is though)
6. Carrie - a timeless classic--I don't consider Carrie to be edible
7. E-4 - an unusual, appealing and "different" taste - very tropical & coconutty
8. Kathy / K-3 - superior ZINc seedling - resin heaven
9. Venus - superior ZINC seedling - yum! --haven't tried it yet
10. Juliette - great fruity-resinous Caribbean flavor
I agree with most of those (in no particular order for me, but Sweet Tart is my favorite I think), but will add a few more that really stood out this year:
Kryptonite (won all 8 tastings it was in),
Pineapple Pleasure (only had 2, but the flavor is SO intense),
Karen Michelle (amazing sweet/subacid balance--Edward seedling),
Seacrest (think it's an edward seedling but not absolutely positive--just intense tropical flavor),
Marley (citrusy near the seed, very tasty),
Orange Sherbet (definitely in my top 5--love this one!),
34-24 (held it's own at each tasting...nice, juicy),
Cac (creamy and top-tier),
PPK (only had a couple this year, but when they are on, they are as good as any)
