POM Wonderful ready to drink teas contain POMx which is their pomegranate antioxidant extract. According to their website, “POMx is a highly-concentrated (and powerful) blend of polyphenol antioxidants made from the same California pomegranates we use to make our POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice. It’s a process so revolutionary, so groundbreaking, that we've applied for a patent. Most importantly, POMx is all-natural, safe and absolutely good for you. We wouldn't have it any other way.”I doubt that a single one of us has not heard about the powers of antioxidants, but I’m not going to get into whether or not this beverage is superior to others. However, I will say that I am excited about the possibilities surrounding antioxidants and look forward to learning more about them.
This particular ready to drink tea has a light and fruity taste. I did not detect a whole lot of tea taste but seeing as this is made with Superior White Peony tea, I can understand why the tea taste isn’t strong. White teas rarely taste strong to me. There is also pomegranate juice and blackberry juice concentrate that give this tea the fruity berry taste. I was really pleased with the overall light taste but please remember, this is not necessarily an iced tea. This is a ready to drink iced tea and believe it or not, there is a difference between making your own iced tea with real tea leaves and drinking a prepared-for-you bottle of iced tea.
The Wildberry White Tea is a light version of their iced teas. Each bottle of Wildberry White Tea is 18 fluid ounces and contains 2 servings. Each of those servings has 35 calories, 9g of sugar, and less than 1mg of caffeine. So, for one 16oz bottle you are consuming 70 calories, 19g of sugar (which is about 4.5 teaspoons), and around 2mg of caffeine. If you were to have 16oz of a soda you would be consuming roughly 200 calories, 56g of sugar and 50mg of caffeine. Just a little perspective for you.
Bottom-line: this ready to drink tea tastes light, refreshing, and fruity but leaves out the tea taste I wanted. I would drink it though because it tastes good and isn’t overly bad for you in my opinion. I don’t often have ready to drink teas in my home because they don’t always represent or taste like real tea and are often too sweet but this is one I could consider having around for a treat. This iced tea drink is not overly sweet yet sadly does not taste much like tea to me and still has a little bit more sugar than I normally consume. Despite that, it isn’t a bad drink.
