I don’t normally do flavored tea infusions, but this one was in the cabinet so I gave it a whirl. Though pomegranate and white tea are in the name, neither are detectable in the brew. They take a back seat to the tart flavor and bright red color of the hibiscus flowers (listed as the second ingredient).
Other ingredients in Trader Joe’s Pomegranate White Tea include lemongrass and organic citrus flavors. Marketed as an antioxidant powerhouse, I suppose this tea appeals the the health conscious non-tea drinker.
Verdict: This infusion is best served over ice.
Just had a cuppa PWT the other day and your review is spot-on. Very tart and the white tea vibes were few and far between.
The pre-sip smell, however, was delightful. Maybe I’ll brew one mug of PWT for sniffing and a mug of anything else for drinking.
I love this tea. While the taste is interesting, it is the anti oxidant properties that i love. A cup each day keeps my auto immune inflammation at bay. It reduces the pain in my feet after an 8 hour day in a kitchen. I do not go a day without it.
