Both the dry tea and steeped liquor have a perfumy peach aroma that smells to me like peach Jolly Rancher candy (a discontinued flavor, sadly). There's just enough passion fruit to be detectable, but I bought this particular flavor for the passion fruit and am a bit disappointed that it isn't stronger.
The fruit flavor is rich and tastes like fresh peaches. The passionfruit is more subtle, but seems to last longer since I can taste it in the finish for some time after swallowing. Unfortunately, the flavor is missing the acid tang of fresh fruit. Unusually for most flavored teas that I'm used to, it also tastes like tea. I'm guessing that it's mostly Ceylon with a bit of Assam. The tea's a lot more mellow than Ahmad's Earl Grey blends, but there's still a bit more bitterness on the tongue than Ahmad's straight Ceylon.
The flavoring is balanced well enough and of a quality that I'll probably try some of the other flavored teas, but I don't think I'll be buying this one again. Ahmad's website sells a box of 20 tea bags for $4.50 and a local Middle Eastern shop has them for $3.49.

Smells like peaches and cream oatmeal!! mmm! Best smelling tea ever! Unfortunately all that richness and flavor in the smell turns into a slightly bitter black tea that actually has only mild fruit flavor. The black tea itself is bold though.

It's a select group of fruit-flavored teas that I like, and it's even less frequent that there's an inexpensive one in a tea bag that is among my favorites--but this is one of these teas.
Aroma is fruity but pungent and deep; the fruitiness is not transient or fleeting, but rather is persistent, and accompanied by deep herbaceous tones.
Flavor is strong and bitter, but in a pleasant way. This in not a light, frivolous fruity tea. The base tea has a very bold presence. The cup is dark and full-bodied.
Overall I found this tea to be complex for a tea bag, almost enigmatic.
Very enjoyable to the last sip. Definitely the most enjoyable fruit-flavored tea in a tea bag that I've tried in a long time. And a great price!
