Passionfruit Orange is the second of this company's teas I'm reviewing, from a 3-blend variety pack that also included Pinneapple Strawberry and Mango Peach. Like the others, it punches above its weight, but its weight is still puny enough for this to be just a pleasant, but overly mild tea.

Despite being packaged in wrappers big enough to fit a larger size, the rectangular, stringless bags are only about 2/3 the axial dimensions of more standard-sized bags like Celestial Seasonings or Murchie's. It left me with a bitter taste, not from the tea, but from the idea that a very simple solution to this blend's biggest problem exists: normal quantity. They fill up when wet, but are simply too little.

As for the aroma and flavor, I easily could crank upon each rating a full star with a filled-up, full-sized bag. Both dry-bag and in-cup smell, as well as flavor, were nice, with passionfruit much more present than orange; fortunately, I love all tropical-fruit flavors. I don't know what having a green/black-tea blend does for the taste over simply one or the other, because it's hard to taste the base tea. What little I can pull out actually seems to be green more than black.
