 Pretty darn good hot and great iced!Dec 05, 2008
By Kurt A. Johnson
Tazo Teas is a relative newcomer to the tea market, having been founded in 1994 by Steve Smith. But, what Tazo lacks in history it makes up for in pure inventiveness!
Among Tazo's many blends is Passion, a bold and flavorful mixture of hibiscus flowers, other tropical flavors, citric acid, orange peel, licorice root, cinnamon bark, rose hips, lemongrass, and red poppy. Brew it up, and you are rewarded with a bright red infusion, that has a tart and exciting taste.
Now, this tea is definitely not for everyone. As you can tell from the ingredients, this tea is strong and decidedly on the tart side. When drunk hot, you probably will want to sweeten it with honey or moderate it with milk, or possibly both. But, when made into an iced tea, Passion really comes into its own - decidedly refreshing and thirst-quenching. Just what you need for a hot summer day!
So, overall I would say that this is a pretty darn good hot tea, and a great iced tea. Buy some today!

 My Favorite Tea in its ClassOct 24, 2010
By John R. Mcelroy
There are three broad categories of herbal tea that I rely on throughout the Fall, Winter, and early Spring:
1) Citrus and lemongrass
2) Rose hips and hibiscus
3) Chamomile
For me, Tazo has held first place in each of these categories for the last several years. This is no small feat - I'm cutthroat when it comes to my tea collection! Passion is an absolutely fantastic tea, eking out a slim lead over Harney and Sons Peach fruit tea (mainly a rose hips and hibiscus blend) because it is cheaper, easier to find locally, has a bagged version, and is more-or-less just as tasty.
For those of you who have never tried it, you will find it is robust and tart. I happen to love tart, fruity herbal teas and this is the first one that I reach for whenever I feel a cold coming on and I want a heavy dose of bioflavonoids to go with my Vitamin C tablet. It's so strong that I often only steep it for 45 seconds, and then I use the teabag again for a subsequent cup with a fresh bag of something else, like Wild Sweet Orange. Just a tip ;)
One reviewer felt misled by the name. There is a category of "medicinal" herbal teas and some of them claim to help people experiencing problems with their libido, etc and I guess this reviewer felt that the name "Passion" should be reserved for such a tea. This is not that type of tea, so look elsewhere if that's what you need.
If you like tart, fruity teas, however, I heartily recommend it.

So good!Jul 09, 2009
By A Haynes
So, going through Starbucks one day, not wanting a coffee, I came across their "Passion Shaken Tea." I plunked down my money, and found the best drink I've had in a long time.
This tea has a flavor that I can't quite place, but don't care--it's so good that I'm actually giving up some of my soda addiction.
If you like fresh, tangy flavors, this tea is for you.

Fine Tea with Hibiscus FlowersJul 23, 2008
By O. Brown
"Ms. O. Khannah-Brown"

Tazo's Passion Herbal Infusion is a somewhat tart, deep, flavorful (hibiscus-y tasting) tea. It is not berry-like in taste, although it is red in color. It's difficult to describe what hibiscus tastes like, but I find it a most pleasant taste. My husband says it tastes like pomegranate to him. Although Passion contains licorice root it is not sweet.
The ingredients in Passion are: hibiscus flowers, natural tropical flavors, citric acid, orange peel, licorice root, cinnamon bark, rose hips, lemongrass and red poppy. It is caffeine-free!
Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea.
On the paper tea packet, Tazo writes, "A tantalizing deep red tea made from hibiscus flowers, exotic herbs and natural tropical flavors." On their web site, Tazo describes the flavor profile of Passion as "berry, juicy, wine-like, merlot, sweet, earthy, dense". Tazo describes the aroma as "sweet, juicy, red fruits".
I would rate this tea, and Tazo in general, as very good---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings---but not as good as Numi. I'm soooooo spoiled by Numi teas, which is why Tazo Passion gets only four stars.

Magical Tazo Passion TeaSep 21, 2004
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
The deep purple/red color and hibiscus fragrance is enough to make anyone passionate about tea. Yet, is this really tea? It looks like tea, but it is really an herbal infusion made by steeping hibiscus flowers, orange peel, licorice, cinnamon, rose hips, lemongrass and red poppy in a swirling of hot water.
The flavor is slightly reminiscent of hot apple cider or hot cranberry juice. This tea leaves a tingle on your tongue and I think it goes very well with a spoonful of honey.
I do think you need two tea bags for each cup of tea to fully intoxicate the senses and experience the magic of the ingredients.
Caffeine Free. You can drink this as you type into the night...
