Passion - Tazo - herbal/tisane

My first introduction to this tea was the Passion Tea Lemonade that Starbucks used to serve in the days prior to the company acquiring Teavana.  I remember the drink being just the right amount of tart, and refreshing.  So when I saw the Tazo Passion tea in the store, I decided to buy it to try on it's own.

Big mistake.

First of all, it's supposed to have a passionfruit flavor.  I don't taste it at all.  All I taste is tart hibiscus, and if that wasn't enough, there's added citric acid to make it even more tart.  It's so tart that I doubled my usual amount of sugar, and it was still too tart.  So I added more sugar...still not drinkable.  I might keep it around to try to blend with other teas, but I honestly think that I can find much better teas to blend with more subtle teas.

Just...gross.
