Tea Forte's Mountain Oolong tea is a nice, light and fruity oolong, very fitting for spring. The aroma of the leaves before brewing is quite pleasant - a little orange, a little peach, a little tea -- and makes for a nice surprise out of the tin/bag. The tea also does not disappoint. It's bright and just a little fruity, without losing the underlying taste of tea. The peach and orange elements play together well. It reminds me a little of the "Lady Grey" type teas, where they dial back the bergamot from the standard Earl Grey blends, but the fruit elements aren't as strong as even that. I wouldn't want to add anything to this. It's balanced just right and sweetening it would kill it.
If you like Adagio's Peach Ooolong, you'll probably like this, although it's not as strongly peach as the Adagio one.
