Panda Express Passionfruit Mango Black Tea

Passionfruit Mango Black Tea is the tropical flavored tea at Panda Express: 10 calories with 0 g of sugar. It carries real fruit flavor at effectively no calorie cost, which puts it in rare company on this fountain.

Black tea infused with passionfruit and mango, the flavors read bright and slightly floral over the tea base rather than the syrupy sweetness of the fruit sodas. It tastes like a specialty tea shop drink rather than a fast food fountain product, which is why people who try it once tend to keep ordering it.

At 10 calories it belongs with the unsweetened teas at the free end of the menu, unlike the sweetened fruit teas such as Mango Guava Tea at 195 calories, which carry real sugar. Reading the published figure rather than assuming from the name is the useful habit here, since fruit flavored does not reliably mean sweetened.

It suits anyone who wants flavor without sugar and finds plain tea dull. Pair it with the spicier dishes like Kung Pao Chicken at 320 calories, where fruit notes cool the chili. Availability depends on the store's tea lineup; the full range is on the Panda Express drinks menu.
