Ingredients: Organic Green Tea, Organic Pomegranate Flavor, Organic Cranberry Flavor.
Since this is the brand served by the school coffee shop, I’ve been drinking this for the past two days. Yesterday I mixed it with a white tea, but today I had it solo on ice. It’s a very nice tea; the flavor is light, but somehow crisp, and drinking it as an iced tea only makes that flavor more distinct. It has a very refreshing taste, and gives me the perk-up I need on these stressful school days.
Strange VariaTEA TTB #36
I pulled a bag of this out of the TTB to sample later and finally got around to it at work this week. I don’t have a temperature-controlled kettle at the office, so the water may have been too hot (though I did let it cool for at least 20 minutes after boiling). Not sure I would have loved this even if I’d brewed it with more care, though. It didn’t have much of a scent and the flavor was also fairly nondescript…a little grassy, a little fruity, but nothing that specifically screams “pomegranate”. Drinkable but forgettable!
Flavors: Fruity, Grass
Strange VariaTEA TTB – Tea #5
Thought I would give this one a try, because a fruity green sounded good.
It’s decent. The base is fairly grassy but I don’t mind that. The flavoring is a bit nondescript to me, I think I could probably pull out cranberry perhaps, but otherwise it just tastes somewhere between berry and red fruits. And there is a bit of that chalkiness that I often get from berry flavoring, unfortunately.
Still a pleasant cuppa to sip on while watching tea videos, but I think I’ll leave the rest of it in the box.
Result: Tried
Flavors: Berry, Chalk, Cranberry, Dry Grass, Grass, Red Fruits, Sweet
Sipdown (613)!
Two tea bags, cold brewed overnight then mixed with chia this morning for a morning cold brew with some extra protein. This wasn’t actually bad; I have a gut feeling that cold brewing probably produced a better and smoother flavour than this tea would have ever been capable of as a hot tea. It reminded me a lot of DT’s Green Seduction blend; same sort of sweet pomegranate note with a bit more of a grassy, sharper green edge to it. Worked very well with the chia though and was quite refreshing.
