I’m always on the lookout for a good passion fruit black. Passion fruit is one of my favorite flavors, and sometimes you just want an unadultered version of a flavor you love, you know? thepuriTea used to carry a quite good passion fruit black, but they are out of business now, so if I want one I will have to find another good one.
This one smelled promising. The steeped tea has a good amount of sweet and tart passion fruit scent, with a nice hearty black tea underneath it. However, I have to say this is a no for me. There is something about the black tea base that is too strong and almost savory. The beginning of the sip is good, with nice passion fruit flavor (though not quite fresh passion fruit), but then the black tea takes over, masks the passion fruit, and gives it a weird salty-savory and slightly bitter note. Will definitely be cold brewing the rest of this.

art of tea has a passion fruit jasmine that’s actually pretty decent. It’s a black-green blend, although I mostly get the black, which I prefer.
Thanks for the rec! I’m actually not hard up for passion fruit as I have a rather large pile of Dammann’s Noël à Pékin, which is actually a jasmine passion fruit black/green blend!
Passionfruit is one of my favourite flavours too. What would you say is the best passionfruit tea you’ve had so far?
Without a doubt, the best, most authentic passion fruit flavor I’ve ever had from a tea is Naivetea’s Passionfruit Oolong. It was mind blowing, like eating a fresh passion fruit (their others are amazing as well). For a straight passionfruit black I’ve had less success. I don’t particularly care for Harney’s for some reason (even though I like their other fruity blacks).
Hmm yeah, I haven’t had Harney’s, mostly due to the mixed reviews. But I’ll take a note of Naivetea’s oolong, and that company in general. Thanks!
you might like our Immortal Green a bit better but it is a green tea base with peach as well
