Green Passionfruit (Organic)

I don’t have any distinctive thoughts about the taste except that it tastes really nice and creamy with oatmilk. I got a small sample packet to try, WRP with a sale

This is one of those teas that was recommended to me by a friend 2 years ago. I fell in love with this tea. It is so delicious and fruity, with that nice green tea undertone. There’s a hint of floral but not enough to make it a floral tea. The main drawback to this tea is it it must be brewed at a low temperature or it will be super bitter. So bitter that you can’t fix it even with sugar. I recommend using water at 175 degrees Fahrenheit it’s about 10 degrees less than recommended on the package oh, but it’s better safe than sorry! I highly recommend this iced it works just as well as hot.

Yummy. More mango/peachy to me than passionfruit. I enjoyed this one and rebrewed it well.

Sipdown!

This tea was included in a Tea for Everyone sampler I was gifted a few years ago; I’m trying to finish up some teas to justify a few online orders for the holidays, so I used the last of this one this morning.

Dry, this tea does smell pleasant (if generically) fruity — I’m not sure I’d identify the fruitiness as passionfruit; I might guess peach? Steeped, the fruitiness isn’t terribly strong, but nor is the green tea — the whole cup is a bit weak and underwhelming, and I don’t get the passionfruit at all. I wouldn’t really mind, but there’s an odd aftertaste that shows up after each swallow, something plasticky and unpleasant. On the plus side, I don’t taste the stevia, which I typically notice and dislike in blends like this!

Anyway… not a big fan; won’t restock.

It’s cooling off in New England so I anticipate I’ll be drinking more tea. With a bite in the air, I managed to take time to have a cup this morning before chores became the thing of the day.

I found this sample in the back of my tea cabinet from sometime in the last year or so. Scent is strongly fruity in the package. peach? pineapple? maybe it’s actually passionfruit and I just don’t know the scent? It brewed up a nice light green color. It cooled off some before I could get my first sip in, which was fine by me.

I didn’t feel that the scent carried over to the taste. I found it to be a bit weak in the fruitiness but did enjoy it. I can see that it would be enjoyable as a iced tea as previous notes have said.

Smells like fruity green tea. Fresh, tangy
Taste: Light green tea flavor (which is good for me) subtle fruit flavoring, Tastes like spring.

Hot: Yes
Cold: Yes
Tin: Yes

Sipping down this sample!

Passionfruit they say? Maybe a little, but more like peach/pear than passion. Someone else walked into the room and asked if I was drinking a peach tea based on the smell. It is a little tart when sipping, which I’m not super into, but there is some peach flavor in the sip too. There is a sweetness towards the end of the sip and the finish starts with the peach/pear combo before going slightly sour. I’ve had better passion fruit teas and I’ve had more interesting peach teas. I’d drink this again if it was around, but I wouldn’t seek it out or buy it. Strikes me as a tea that would be good cold steeped.

#drinkwhatyouown January slot 9/25

Cold brew (from my en masse stash of DT pitcher packs-this one is dated 2017) DT pitcher sipdown.. finished hot 1/13 with some bites of a sandwich at work. I made two + leftover Chipotle + salad spinach to pack for my long day with double shifts… and could only eat 1/4th of the sandwich this morning though. I prefer this tea cold for sure, but it is brisk at 540 am so I heated the last 16 oz in microwave when getting ready in the morning.

I miss steepster, wish it was working normally. :(

Got this as a free sampler sachet with an order not long ago. It’s the sort of tea I normally drink cold-brewed, but I just rarely prepare coldbrew with so little leaf so I was waiting for a time it sounded good. My ginger rice and sweet and sour chicken tonight sounded like a good match with the fruitier/tropical profile.

As a simple Idahoan passionfruit isn’t something I’ve ever really had, so I can only really describe that the flavor I’m getting here — which I assume is passionfruit — is sort of a cross between a fresh pear note and a very light, watered down fruit punch taste. It’s quite sweet, but not unpleasant. I also taste pineapple. The green tea base is present but more subtle beneath the fruity, tropical flavors — a light grass/hay flavor. It also has a subtle, sweet florality to it, but I can’t really place any specific floral note.

It’s perfectly pleasant. Still the sort of flavor profile I prefer cold, but an enjoyable cup nonetheless.

Incredible bright and fruity smell that didn’t translate as much to the taste – more like a lightly flavored green tea.
