Pomegranate Mojito

Liked this more than I expected to!

It’s very flavourful for a sachet, and the green tea is pretty unoffensive and smooth for as fine cut as it is. Though, I bet this tea definitely oversteeps quickly so gotta be mindful of that! The pomegranate is just sweet enough, though comes off a bit more like a generic red berry note versus distinctly pomegranate. Could maaayyybeee use a little bit of tartness or acidity, but that’s if I’m being super nit-picky. The mint is great though! Tastes very crisp and clean; not muddy at all. Leaves a pleasant cooling sensation on the bed of the mouth after each sip.

And, of course, bonus points for being heavily caffeinated.

A nice tea, but it’s a bit too much for me. I can never finish a cup, or if I do, I get odd stomach feelings for the rest of the day. I do love the aroma though. Dry, it’s very minty with green tea and pomegranate notes. There’s also this lemonade and vodka aroma – I swear, I’m not imagining it. After some bad experiences, I rarely touch alcohol.

Flavour is just mint, really really strong mint. It doesn’t taste like peppermint to me, it’s more like spearmint with extra menthol added. Any pomegranate flavour is lost on me.

Personally, I don’t like it iced. The Superberry Samba is far better iced. Full tasting notes, method, pics etc.: https://www.immortalwordsmith.co.uk/zest-tea-pomegranate-mojito-review/

Why does green tea hate me so much sometimes? I wanted to like this but it gave me an upset stomach. I never have this problem with black tea and it is the SAME PLANT. Unfair.
