Review: Tropical Fruit

Of the four flavors of Agua de Chia that we sampled, we found this one to be the best of the bunch. Still, we didn’t really find it enjoyable; we’d describe it simply as tolerable. Despite having a line of fruit-flavored beverages that’s focused on “natural,” there’s no juice in any of these products. To compound matters, the company's selection of candy-like flavors is a bit of a head scratcher given that chia is a health-oriented product. As for this particular flavor, it tastes like a classic fruit punch, which is, as mentioned before, the most tolerable of the flavors that the company created. Still, the flavor of the stevia is strong and there’s a lot of room for improvement. Packaging is the same 8.2 oz. can used on all of the flavors. The samples that we received were sleeve wrapped rather than painted, which is only good in that it probably makes changing the design easier. And changing the design has to be high on the priority list for this product. There’s simply no way it can compete with its current look. Overall, the best of the bunch, but still needs serious work.
