 Not Too Light, Not Too Sweet, But Oh What A Wonderful FlavorMar 31, 2010
By M. David
Every Revolution product I have tried has been a wonderful experience. Revolution knows how to balance the inherit flavors of tea leaves with other ingredients which make each tea unique and enjoyable.
Better Than The Rest
I've been buying this particular tea consecutively for the better half of a year now, and I simply love it. No other pomegranate tea comes close to this one in terms of quality and taste. For example, Trader Joe's store brand (while good) seems as if it has been sweetened (to the point where it's too sweet), and surprisingly the tea turns red after less than a minute of seeping indicating that coloring was added (I didn't check the ingredients, so I may be wrong about this). There's also Yogi's pomegranate tea which uses a green tea and creates an entirely different taste. I liked it; didn't love it.
Complimenting Flavors
Pomegranates are often compared to apples. In fact, pomegranate means "seeded apple" (from latin: pomum - apple and granatus - seeded), and like an apple the fruit is sweet and tart, but has a very strong and distinct flavor. Thus, a light white tea is the perfect companion; it doesn't overpower the pomegranate flavor but allows it to mingle on the tongue. Likewise, the amount of pomegranate, or rather the intensity of the pomegranate flavor, is truly perfect. No flavor overpowers the other, but rather all the flavors compliment one another.
Brewing
I'm sure someone out there will say that I'm butchering tea when I brew this, but when I do, I leave the tea bag in the mug until I've consumed it all. I find that the taste never gets too strong and never gets bitter. Typically this is only the case for herbal teas, which don't become overpowered since they contain no tea leaves. In this case the same is true, perhaps because it is a white tea which is naturally light. The tea itself literally contains dried pomegranate seeds (flesh included). Do you know that taste you get a few moments after you eat a pomegranate seed? (If you don't, try it! It's wonderful.) That initial bite from the tartness followed by sweetness you get (or at least I get) from a pomegranate is captured in this tea, and it makes sense! There's pomegranate seeds in there!
Conclusion
Buy this tea! I was a little skeptical about my first purchase since I was buying 6 boxes, but it was a great choice that I do not in the least bit regret. I've bought this for myself and for family, with everyone absolutely loving it. Best $20 I have ever spent (and continue to spend)!

Enjoyable tea with a refreshing taste. The 16-count Pack of 6 represents an excellent buy compared to store prices.

Best TeaDec 23, 2009
By D. Cameron
I love this tea. I have issues with added flowers and flavorings in other teas and Revolution teas tell you exactly whats in it and there are no additives! I have been ordering from them ever since my first box of tea. I take it to the office and I have a travel container and take it with me to restaurants.

 Tastes different, and much worse than beforeAug 29, 2011
By rjweisberg
"rjweisberg"
This is the first time we bought this tea from Amazon, we used to get it directly from Revolution Tea. I don't know if that made any difference, or if it was just a change in the tea's composition (along with the packaging), but what used to be my wife's favorite tea now has a metallic smell and aftertaste, with much less of a pomegranate flavor and now a strong, almost cheap-generic-green-tea flavor. Really disappointing, especially since we're stuck with six boxes.
very disapointedMar 07, 2012
By teepe
Trader Joe's Pomegranate White tea is superior to this tea. This is very bitter and perfumey. Maybe thats what you get when you brew whole leaves and stems . I found it repulsive.
