POM Light Tea

Product Type:Tea: Alternative; Container: 16 oz PET
BevNET Review: Sweetened with erythritol (a natural sweetener), this drink's flavor is different than most low calorie drinks that you are probably used to. The flavor starts out a little harsh, but our palates quickly warmed to the lightly fruity flavor of the drink. There's a decent amount of fruit flavor to the drink, but it's delivered in a more manageable way than POM's full calorie tea entries. We can taste the hint of blackberry as well as the white tea that rounds out the flavor. Packaging is much improved over the original glass rendition, with a simple and clean design on the front panel. Overall, an enjoyable tasting drink -- once you get past the first sip.

BevNET Review: Pomegranate Orange Blossom Red Tea was the second flavor of POM's "Light Tea" that we sampled. It's better than the Pomegranate Wildberry White Tea, having the addition of citrus helping to cut the taste of the erythritol. The resulting flavor is extremely pleasant, with a mixture of citrus and pomegranate flavor giving way to a light tea flavor. Packaging is clean and easy to read, relying on the brand equity of POM Wonderful to pull this brand. Our only suggestion is to better promote the "POMx" and the drink's intended antioxidant benefits. Otherwise, enjoyable taste and packaging.

BevNET Review: Of POM's "Light Tea" varieties, this is the best tasting of the lineup, with a stronger and sweetener pomegranate flavor helping to further mask the erythritol. There are slight notes of what appear to be green tea and hibiscus to round out the drink, which helps add some depth to the flavor. Still, it's primarily a fruit flavored drink with the tea a distant second. Like the other flavors, packaging is simple but attractive, with a lot of emphasis on the "only 35 calories per serving." They've painted the "label" on instead of using an adhesive or sleeve, which is a nice touch that helps give the drink a bright, uniform look. Overall, an enjoyable product.
