drank Passion Punch by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

While out shopping with my oldest daughter, we stopped into DavidsTea to grab some new goodies. I allowed her to pick out three flavours from the prepackaged selections and she choose Passion Punch, which I was eager to try as well.

We agreed that we would try this tea iced and so I made a large pitcher for the entire family to enjoy (husband, three kids, and myself – the pitcher is easier than creating individual glasses). As per the norm the younger kids watched the tea brew and change colours from a light pink to a dark red-pink colour.

Dried the tea smells sweet almost tropical like those hand lotions that are in season right now.
Steeped it has a very citrus like aroma (for me it does at least)
Taste wise, it has a floral tart flavouring which I would rather have in a hot brew. I was expecting something more sweet. My kids do not like it though, to bitter for them. My husband is not a very big tea drinker (coffee lover that one is) and said it would taste better with something mixed in it.

Next time I will try it with soda water and see how that makes it tastes, or perhaps as a hot brew to finish up the small amount that is left.

Flavors: Bitter, Citrus, Tart

Preparation
Iced

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
