To be fair… I think I need to take a deeper dive in to pssion fruit, because I do recall tasting it, and it tasting bitter. But then again, even as I tend to taste bitterness stronger than mybpeers, as that is one of the reasons I don’t like the taste of coffee (even the good one), the common denominator in the juices was pointed out to me by someone, who actually likes coffee, and I’ve never met a person in flesh, who likes passion fruit because of the bitter aftertaste.
That leads me to believe there is more to it, because it is literally impossible to find a juice here (and to be clear, if it’s not made with 100% juice, it is called “juice drink”, not juice) where the third fruit is NOT passion fruit. There are some extremely rare brands, but it feels like the people making those juices are so insistant on adding passion fruit, that it feels like they’re trying to extend the juice with that. Which then conflicts with an idea that it’s an expensive delicacy.
This then leaves few options:
the fruit is locally a delicacy, because most of it is exported, and the exported fruits are of lesser quality.
the exportation of those fruits cause them to go bad, but those who buy them in bulk completelly fail to understand this, and think that people want that shit anyways.
Non the less, this requires investigation, so I can make a more public, local, case to push for lore mixed juices that are not ruined by their lack of product testing.
