People just love this one - but for some reason, I don't. Too floral and ascerbic and weirdly tart for me. But my 9 year old digs it iced - and Starbucks serves it in vast quantities.
I like Tazo's Green and the old-formula "Om" a bit better.

This has long been my favorite of the Tazo teas, and with its full leaf form it has managed to improve. The taste is very full and juicy, almost like drinking a hot juice with no sugar added. (Sweetness would only spoil this tea.) The flavor is quite tart, but not acidic. It has a mouthfeel that sort of clings to your palate in a way that extends its flavor. If you're in the mood for something that will pucker your lips a bit without full on inspiring a face contorting wince, this is a great tea to try.

The original Tazo passion was far too sour for me. I tried this one out of curiosity, and because I wanted to review it. Like all of the new Tazo teas, it has a richer, more complex aroma, in which I'm able to detect the individual whole ingredients more easily.
The orange peel really comes out in the aroma. I also notice the cinnamon, which is light, not overpowering. The rest of the aromas blend together, although the blend is fruity overall. The flavor is also sweeter, something that I don't like.
The old blend, which included added citric acid, has been changed and this blend now uses hibiscus and other whole ingredients to impart sourness. It is still really sour, however, more sour for my tastes.
Like most of the new Tazo full leaf sachets, I think this one works best for making two cups, the first with a brief infusion, then the second with a longer steeping. In the case of this tea, I think this is even more important to prevent it from getting too sour.
Improved over the original, but I would not order this regularly, and it's still way too sour for my tastes.
