I'm so bummed :(. This was one of my favorite teas at Starbucks when I worked there. I would brew it double strength and pour it over ice with a splash of simple syrup or melon syrup.

I still see this in stores in the filterbags (and it is available online) but the stores only carry the sachet teas now.

I bet iced and with melon this would be nice, sort of like how i tend to preferr the passion tea iced to hot.

Thank you for stopping by jetBlue711!
