 | "The flavors are nice and well balanced, but comparing this tea to some of the other POMx teas, this blend is a bit more astringent. The boldness of this tea, and the mouth puckering tannic feel may be more well suited than the "light" offerings by POM Wonderful."

This tea is somewhat of a complimentary tea to POM Wonderful's "Wildberry Light" tea. They both feature teas blended with blackberry juice extract, and the same general ingredients. However, here the base tea is Congou black tea (whereas the Wildberry Light was blended with White Peony tea). Congou black tea is a grade of Chinese black tea that is hugely popular - it is the black tea typically used in English Breakfast blends, as far as I can tell. The other ingredients here are pomegranate juice and blackberry juice - both from concentrate - and POMx (POM Wonderful's patented pomegranate antioxidant extract), in addition to various sweeteners preservatives, etc. The sugar content of this tea is double that of the "light" versions. I can't say it's "sweeter", per se, but it is definitely a bit different, in comparison.The flavor of the black tea paired with the pomegranate juice is bold and sharp. The acidity and mouthfeel are strong, with pomegranate flavor leading the pack. The blackberry flavor and the sweetener balance the flavors out a bit. Overall, it is a little too astringent for my personal preference. The flavors are nice and well balanced, but comparing this tea to some of the other POMx teas, I would choose the Wildberry Light, personally. For some, though, the boldness of this tea, and the mouth puckering tannic feel may be more well suited.
