A new tea company to me, another fruity black tea to try for making iced tea. Tiesta Tea's Passion Berry Jolt is a black tea base with maté added for the "jolt" plus pieces of raspberry, pineapple and passion fruit. It's darn okay. It does, however, pack sufficient punch that a pot (3.5 glasses of iced tea) gets me through a 12-hour work day. So that's a thing.
This tea needs a right proper steep to get enough flavor to hold up to icing. Unless it's steeped for 4-5 minutes, it's largely flavorless.
The flavor is good enough. It's generically fruity, without distinct tones of any particular fruit. If I squint, I can get the pineapple and/or passion fruit. This tea isn't bad, it's simply missing something that would make it really excellent. I won't go out of my way to buy it again.
