Pom Super Antioxidant Tea White & Wildberry

Pom sent me some iced tea juice drinks to try so I will be sharing my thoughts about them over the next few days. I am enjoying liquids since my surgery; I have been unable to eat solid foods. Just can’t swallow them. Supposedly this will go away eventually…in the meantime I am sipping as many different things as possible for variety.

I do have to apologize for lack of images. I took the pictures with my camera, then drank the tea and made notes, and then I deleted the images before I uploaded them. I plead post surgery brain drain.

The Pom White Tea and Wildberry is a “light” drink. It has only 35 calories an eight ounce serving, or two servings per bottle. It has to be refrigerated and  you should be able to find it in your refrigerator section.

Although I saw no mention of artificial flavors I got that funny feeling in the back of my neck that I get when I drink things with aspartame or sucralose (etc) in them. Not a full blown headache, but a stiffening of the muscles just where my head and neck meet. If you are concerned read the bottle carefully…I may have missed it being listed as an ingredient.

The flavor was refreshingly tart with the slightly acidic white tea flavor hitting me first, followed by the tart pomegranate and then finishing with the sweet wildberry/blackberry flavor. It was more white tea than juice in flavor, nice and refreshing and light. I thought it would have been great with club soda added to it for fizz and a strawberry tossed in the glass.

This one gets a 3 on the flavor scale. I think I would have liked more intensity in the fruit.
