I opened this for the first time today because I’m trying to taste a new green and write a note about it at least every time I sip down a large tin of green to keep a balance going.
The ingredients list mentions rosehips and raspberries “and other natural flavors” which is interesting given the name. The other natural flavors must be the “essence of pomegranate”?
There’s a strong fruity smell in the packet. If I didn’t know about the raspberries, I probably would have said it smelled like pomegranate. But knowing, I sometimes smell pomegranate and sometimes raspberries.
The tea is a strong, gold color and has a juicy fruity smell.
Amazingly, in the flavor, the combination of raspberry and whatever the flavoring agent does remind me of pomegranate, though not as tart. Which is actually good, because if it was that tart I’m not sure I’d enjoy drinking it.
The berries sweeten the flavor up nicely. Certainly, at times while drinking this I think of raspberry rather than pomegranate. But I quite like raspberry, so that’s not such a bad thing.
I didn’t experience any of the bitterness others have mentioned steeping at my standard time and temp for green tea.
Very nice indeed.

This was one of the first flavored greens I ever had when I first got into tea as a hobby, and it’s still one of my favorites. Seeing this brings back a lot of nostalgia. I still have a large bag in my cupboard, maybe I’ll make a cuppa this afternoon being reminded of it!
Enjoy!
