Passion from Tazo
68

An old, reliable favorite. One bag does well in a 20 oz cup, because hibiscus (also the key ingredient in jamaica/sorrel/bissap) is so strong. It will also stain, so watch out! Had it on the go from Starbucks, and did my usual one bag in, one bag on the side maneuver to save one for later. The advantage to drinking Passion, versus steeping loose hibiscus, is that in addition to not having to rinse it for dirt and loose pieces, Passion is a bit sweeter than hibiscus straight up, which can be a little tart. Whereas I prefer sugar in my hibiscus brews, I like a bit of honey with my Passion. I also really like how that last clause wrote itself just now.

Unfortunately all tea stains. I’m such a klutz you have no clue how many shirts I’ve ruined.

True. Maybe I should say hibiscus dyes, because somehow a bright pink splotch is more insulting than a brownish one, but by dunking the whole garment, one can enjoy her cup of tea, and spruce up the ole wardrobe.

Oh see I’d like a passion stain better cuz I don’t like the common tea color.:) Could see why that’d be horrible for a guy though.=P
