Tasting notes and thoughts:
Surprisingly, this tea was much lighter than I thought it would be. The mango taste is very realistic (and very sweet), but doesn't overpower the tea at all. In fact, it balances well with the green taste of the oolong, which gives this tea its floral notes. It's smooth with little astringency, and leaves a very strong aftertaste of mango in your mouth after drinking.
It's a pleasant tea, and is surprisingly close to actual mango juice.
Other notes:
I can't really think of anything that really happened today that was interesting. I finally got around to watching Sunset Boulevard (which I thought was great), bought groceries, and then just worked on homework for the rest of the day.
