BevNET Review: Unlike the Mandarin flavor of the Twist Naturals lineup, the Mandarin White Tea variety of Twist Organics doesn't have a very pronounced mandarin flavor. Instead it has "organic mandarin white tea flavor," which doesn't really taste like either of the two. Instead, there's something that has a hint of citrus to it that's followed by a pasty finish. Don't take this the wrong way -- the product is actually pleasant to drink. However, we'd like it a lot more if there was a bit more depth to the flavors.

BevNET Review: The Mango Acai flavor of Twist Organics is an enjoyable one, delivering a light fruit flavor in a formulation that's got only 25 calories per 19 oz bottle. Sweetened with agave, the drink keeps a very light but natural tasting sweetness. The fruit flavors are mellow, but believable, with a sweet mango like flavor hitting your tongue first followed by a tart but slightly sour acai flavor. Overall, an enjoyable organic flavored water that's our favorite flavor of the line.

BevNET Review: Starting off with a nice blueberry aroma, this variety was our favorite of the lineup. There's a discernable blueberry flavor to the mix, although he pomegranate flavor doesn't lend much aside from a tart finish. That's OK, especially since the blueberry flavor alone makes this an enjoyable drink. Packaging is a 19 oz hot fill bottle with a square shape, which is certainly nice from a convenience point of view. On the other hand, we think that the front panel is a bit text heavy and would benefit if it were cleaned up a bit.

BevNET Review: The first flavor in our sampling of Talking Rain's Twist Organics was West Indies Lime, an agave sweetened product flavored with lime. With only 10 calories per serving, the product is very light tasting, but the lime flavor is quite natural (and it's organic). It's an enjoyable product that drinks like a water much more than a fruit flavored beverage, which is definitely what the manufacturer is going for. Packaging is a modern looking square shape bottle that's got a full wrap label on it. It's a bit busy, which undermines that otherwise premium feel that this organic product seems to be going for. Overall, very nice taste, but a bit of cleanup on the packaging front might go a long way.
