I’ve been buying & enjoying Tazo Passion tea for over a decade now. It’s my daily brew. The flavor is THE ABSOLUTE BEST of any “passion” or hibiscus tea out there. It’s also better than any other herbal, caffeine free tea. Since hibiscus has been shown to lower blood pressure, it’s a perfect evening brew. As a Registered Dietitian, I have been recommending this tea to all my patients for many years now & everyone returns to say they LOVE IT. It is making it a bit tough to find Tazo Passion Tea at the local stores, but I find more or buy online. I hope Tazo never stops making Passion Tea!!
This tea says caffeine free, but , it has licorice root which will elevate your blood pressure.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Ricky,
I want to assure you that our TAZO Passion Teabag adheres strictly to FDA labeling regulations regarding caffeine and ingredient declaration. Currently, there is no credible evidence suggesting that licorice enhances performance, especially at the levels found in our products. Furthermore, the minimal amounts of licorice in this tea are unlikely to affect blood pressure. However, if you have any medical concerns, we strongly recommend consulting your physician.

I‘ve been drinking this tea for about 3 years, and still love it. Tazo is my favorite brand because their teas have the best flavor profiles and are the freshest tasting of all the herbal teas I’ve tried over the years. Passion is the flavor my family and I enjoy most, especially as a cold/iced tea. It’s hot and humid most of the year where we live, so cold Passion tea is the most refreshing and delicious tea for us. I make a gallon at a time and like to sweeten it with Stevia.
I no longer can find it locally in stores, which is really disappointing. I’d LOVE for it to be sold in larger quantities per box for a bit lower price. The quality is superb, and with making 2 or 3 gallons per week, I go through 2 boxes a week.
I’ve seen other reviews mention the problem of the paper tag sticking to the bag causing the bag to tear when trying to separate them. Some reviews have utterly disparaged the quality of the tea for this. I’ve had the same issue, where it appears that perhaps some humidity affected the packaging. But a simple fix is to just dampen the area with a little water, or steam from your teapot of boiling water right before brewing, and the tag lifts away from the bag easily. No big deal. Still excellent quality and taste no matter if a stuck or not stuck tag before brewing!
Frankly, I’d much rather just dampen the tag a little, if needed, rather than the company have to use some kind of chemical and /or extra processing to keep it from sticking.
