New Pom Antioxidant Super Teas
This is a guest post from my wife. She’s a big fan of POM Wonderful so she was especially thrilled to try out their new line of super teas. A PR firm sent us a few bottles and here is what she thoughts of them.
I had the pleasure of trying the new Pom Antioxidant Super Teas this past week. I’m a big fan of Pom Wonderful with its super delicious, not too sweet, taste so I was really excited to try four of the Pom Tea flavors. I tried two of the regular Pomx Teas: Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea and two of the Pomx Light Teas: Pomegranate Hibiscus Green Tea and and Pomegranate Wildberry Light White Tea.
All four were really yummy however of the light teas the Pomegranate Hibiscus was my favorite and the Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea was my favorite of the regular teas. The flavors of the peach came through clearly and the tea was not as sweet as some other peach teas. Also, it only has 80 calories per serving so 160 for the whole bottle. The light teas, including the Hibiscus Green Tea only have 35 calories, or 70 for a whole bottle. I was surprised after opening the Hibiscus Green Tea that the flavors were delicate and subtle while still providing a yummy and refreshing drink. It also did not have a “light” drinks aftertaste, a big plus in my book!
My favorite thing about these teas is that they provide you with more antioxidant potency than “red wine, green tea, grape and acai extracts” but with all the taste of a refreshing tea drink. They are all sweet but not too sweet when drinking by themselves or accompanying a meal. Another plus is that all of the teas that I tried contain between 1mg – 3mg of caffeine per serving or 2mg – 6mg of caffeine for a whole bottle.
A few notes: they are perishable and need to be kept refrigerated.

When the fine folks at POM Wonderful emailed me to ask if they could send me a package of their pomegranate juice, I jumped at the chance because both my wife and I love the stuff. We enjoy it because we like the taste of pomegranate, the health benefits are just an added bonus. The reason why pomegranate is so good for you is because it is packed with antioxidants. They’ve spent millions on research (twenty five million to be exact) to confirm the benefits of pomegranates and discovered that it’s had a positive effect in a variety of areas including cardiovascular health, prostate health, erectile function, and in sheer antioxidant potency. But all that doesn’t matter to me and my wife, to be perfectly honest, we don’t look at POM Wonderful as some magic elixir… it’s juice and it tastes good.
However, if you’re one of the many thousands who pay $40 a bottle of acai berry products, consider buying something you can get at your local grocery store instead.
