Honest Tea Pomegranate Red Tea with Goji Berry


Aroma: The smooth smell of the traditional South African red tea (organic rooibos) blends together with sweet hints of pomegranate to form a very pleasing overall aroma.

Taste: This tea has a very mellow but complex flavor that I really enjoyed. It's perfectly sweetened with a mix of cane sugar and the naturally sweet-tasting red tea. The slight tang of the pomegranate gives it a wonderful finish.

Price: $1.45 at Good Earth. Available nationwide and online at http://honesttea.elsstore.com/.
(Although the site was a bit confusing. For this flavor click on "glass variety" and then go to page 2.

Ingredients:Purified water, organic cane sugar, organic honeybush, organic pomegranate juice concentrate, Fair Trade Certified organic rooibos, organic blackberry leaves, natural pomegranate flavor, vegetable juice extract (color), citric acid, goji berry.

Other Comments: This is an herbal tea with high antioxidant levels and no caffeine.

Overall: This is a great drink for sipping while contemplating the mysteries of the universe. I just tried it for the first time today and already I feel my cosmic understanding beginning to expand. I'm not usually a tea-head, but this one has made my list. The only drawback I can think of is the price, but for all the organic matter going into it, it's understandable. Plus, you have the peace of mind of knowing what's in this bottle probably won't kill you, so I guess that's worth 50 cents more than a soda.

Rating: 5/5 stars.

(Just FYI, I will rarely give a 5 star rating to anyone. It was a pretty big coincidence that my very first new product review on this site got a 5, but I was genuinely impressed with this product.)
