Hopefully by now you’ve tried something that is flavored using Pomegranate.  If you haven’t, you can start with a beverage such as Sweet Leaf’s Pomegranate Green Tea.  Sweet Leaf has been on the tea scene for over ten years and their product line is steadily evolving.  Their distribution growth has been the topic of many tea related news stories.  I’ve had mixed reviews of various pomegranate flavored teas, but Sweet Leaf knows how to make tea – S-W-E-E-T.  There’s no holding back on the sweetness.  The pomegranate green tea is USDA certified organic.  This beverage does have a slight fruity tartness to it, but the organic cane sugar helps to balance the flavor.  At times, I pickup an almost sweet/tart apple flavor from the green tea.  I do appreciate that I can tell I’m drinking green tea with each drink.  One of my complaints about many fruit flavored RTDs is the fact that you can’t taste the tea.  That’s not the case with Sweet Leaf’s product.  Clearly the sweet fruit flavor of the pomegranate is the focal point of the beverage, but the green tea makes for a good base.  With most organic bottled teas, you need to give this one a good shake before drinking to get all the ingredients mixed up.  There are about 28g of sugars and 120 calories per 16 fl oz.
