The Perfect Cup of Passion
Passion Fruit Tea makes a fine hot beverage or a fruity cold refresher.
Pour freshly boiled water over the teabag and steep for 3-7 minutes.
For iced tea use 6 Passion Fruit teabags and pour a quart of boiling water over them. Allow them to steep for 5-10 minutes then remove the teabags and pour the mixture over ice. Top of the pitcher with cold water and more ice.
High quality iced teas will often have a cloudy appearance. This is normal, and a good indicator of quality black tea.

While you might be inclined to believe that Passion Fruit (Latin: Passiflora edulis) gets its name from its passion inducing flavor, you would be very wrong. Rather than being named by an amorous botanist, the fruit was given its name by Jesuit priests in Brazil sometime in the 1700’s. The Jesuits who found the fruit growing in abundance there felt that the crown shaped flowers of the fruit, reminded them of the crown of thorns worn by Jesus before he was crucified, an event known as the Passion of Christ. During colonial times, as Jesuits traveled throughout South and North America, they brought the fruit with them and planted the seeds in the gardens of their missions. In fact the Jesuits were probably the first people to cultivate them in California where Passion Fruits are now widely grown commercially.
The flavor of Passion Fruit Tea is unique. It has a musky guava-like character with a slightly acidic profile ranging from sweet to tart depending on the time picked. This profile makes it a perfect match with the astringency of our Ceylon tea. Fantastic hot or cold, this is one tea you’ll want to savor again and again.
Our Passion Fruit flavored tea begins with high quality Orange Pekoe tea from Sri Lanka. The black tea is combined with freeze dried papaya, sunflower and calendula petals and natural flavors.
Passion Fruit quickly became a favorite around the office as we were first taste testing iced teas in the summer of 2009.
