Morning everyone!
Ever heard of a superfruit? I thought it was just a term used by the company that produces the tea I'm drinking right now but it turns out that it refers to a marketing term about certain fruit. Key criteria for superfruit success appear to include novelty, perceived health benefits, convenience, reliable supply and effective promotion. Our superfruit in this case is Pomegranate. I'm not a terribly big fan of this fruit but it's not bad when mixed with green tea. You might as well just forget about your 'power' drinks too while your at it. This Pomegranate and green tea mixture packs an antioxidant punch. So even if you don't throughly enjoy the flavor you will enjoy knowing that you are helping your body in a big way.
Name: Pomegranate Green Tea
Type: Green, Fruit
Company: The Republic of Tea
Purchased: World Market
Comments: I steep it for about 3 minutes and it was fine. Ive steeped it over 5 before and it turned out to be really bitter. But I think you need at least 2 minutes to get the pomegranate to release its flavor.

Do you guys have any favorite teas?
My favorite tea is young, green Puerh. The aged variety is much more popular with the Chinese and also here in the US.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try that for so long now! Which brand do you suggest?
