drank Passion by Tazo
2050 tasting notes

Tea from postcrossing THANK YOU envelope 4/6.

This tea sojunds amazing while you read
An exuberant herbal infusion of hibiscus, orange peel rose hips and passion fruit flavors

But I noticed that herbal part and not fruit one. Rose hips and hibiscus, combined with raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavours? That’s this tea I think. Even when I knew it should have passion fruit flavour, I wasn’t feeling it at all!

Blah.

Flavors: Blackberry, Blueberry, Raspberry

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I think they lured you in with the word ‘exuberant’ (great word, no?!) and then they did not fulfill the promise of the word.

Probably… Certainly expected more passion fruit than berries.

Leafhopper

This isn’t the first tea that doesn’t deliver on its glowing marketing copy.

Martin Bednář

It indeed isn’t Leafhopper, but… but… I wanted passion fruit!

Leafhopper

LOL. I’d be disappointed, too.

hehe Great marketing but poor tea ^^

White Antlers

I was curious about passion fruit in tea so I did a bit of Googling. At first I thought maybe they ‘cheaped out’and used powdered passion fruit-a very poor, sad substitue for the sliced, dried fruit. But no-here are the ingredients-‘tropical flavor’-whatever nonsense that is-and no passion fruit in any form to be found. Ingredients Hibiscus flowers, natural tropical flavors, citric acid, licorice root, orange peel, cinnamon, rose hips, lemongrass, fruit juice extract (color). Shame on Tazo! Passion-NOT!

Martin Bednář

Cinnamon? Where? :D

White Antlers

LOL! I know, right?!

I actually love this tea… as a strong hibiscus tea (Being hibi’s last remaining fan around these parts, haha! I wouldn’t even know what passion fruit is supposed to taste like, call me uncultured!) I especially like it iced during the summer. Definitely not a tea for those that can’t take a very tart and tangy hibi tea, though!

Martin Bednář

I can imagine it can be as hibiscus tea. But why they claim it’s passion?!

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
