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

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

Probably… Certainly expected more passion fruit than berries.
This isn’t the first tea that doesn’t deliver on its glowing marketing copy.
It indeed isn’t Leafhopper, but… but… I wanted passion fruit!
LOL. I’d be disappointed, too.
hehe Great marketing but poor tea ^^

Cinnamon? Where? :D
LOL! I know, right?!

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