It was interesting to me how radically different this tea is from Adagio's peachy oolong.
Brews a very clear, light pink cup. Flavor is clean, but sour. Aroma is intensely peachy, with a strong oolong presence as well...bold, greener character, floral and herbaceous.
Compared to Adagio's peach-flavored oolong, I strongly prefered this one in aroma, I think because I liked the base tea more, but I found the flavor to be too sour to my liking, probably because of the added hibiscus. I prefer teas with very little sourness.
This tea also strikes me as a bit pricey, especially for a flavored tea, especially for one that I liked, but was not amazed by.
