Quick Answer
Passion fruit green tea is green tea + passion fruit syrup + ice, shaken. Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is, according to English Wikipedia, native to southern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina; the fruit holds many seeds, each wrapped in juicy pulp, and its juice is tart with a musky aroma, often added to other juices to boost aroma. Bubble tea shops usually use syrup for consistent sweet-tartness and add tapioca pearls and nata de coco for the popular “passion fruit double”.
