Since I usually drink straight black tea I wanted to be a little adventurous and tried Passion, but was not satisfied.
The rich red color of this tea intrigued me, but its fruity flavor was far too strong. Barely steeped for a minute, my cup was already overwhelming.

This tea is a mouth-zinger! I really enjoy it, though some may find it too tart or sour for their tastes. To me, I think it is a great flavor.
I think it tastes like a fresh peach pie, but a tart peach pie. It certainly has a wildly bold flavor, one that when it hits your tongue the first time, makes you pucker a bit.
While I just love it, it isn't going to be for everyone.

The only thing passionate about this tea is my desire to get away from it. Like drinking purple vinegar.

This tea smells great and look really great in the cup, but drinking it is a form of torture to me.
It has a very distinct fruity flavor that I find too strong, even when steeped for very short periods of time.
I would try this one with caution, and start by steeping it for a very short time to avoid it becoming reminiscent of over-concentrated tang.

I really enjoyed this tea. Normally I add honey to herbal tea, but in this case, that is completely unnecessary. The strong fruit flavors make my mouth happy all on their own.
I didn't find the tea sour at all. Instead, I would say that it balances sweet and sour flavors very nicely.

While I love the aroma of this tea, it is so sour as to be completely undrinkable. I have found a way to remedy this by running cold water over the teabag for about 15 seconds before brewing it. This leaves most of the aroma intact but removes most of the sourness. The resulting tea is very enjoyable.
I'm rating the tea as-is. Rating the tea after this alteration, I would give it a 5/4/4/4 = 57/100.
I notice they add citric acid to this tea, as well as making hibiscus (which leads to sour) the first ingredient. I think it would be enough to just add the hibiscus, and possibly move it down the ingredient list. This is a seriously unbalanced tea. I find teas this sour leave an unpleasant taste in my mouth and unsettle my stomach. Drinking it after altering it to remove most of the acidity, however, I find this tea is pleasing and leaves me with a nice feeling.
