The event curated a mango tasting experience offering the best of the five distinct varieties, of Indian mangoes, i.e. dussehri, chausa, langra, mallika and totapuri for leading importers and select media from Seattle.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown, was the guest of honour, along with Washington State Senator Manka Dhingra, and Seattle Port Commissioner Sam Cho. The participating dignitaries savoured each of the five mango varieties and appreciated their distinctive aroma, texture, and sweetness.
