Pomegranate Delight

This tea has a long name. It is made by Twining's and is called "Premium Black Tea: Pomegranate Delight" to differentiate from some other premium black teas also made by Twining's.

Flavor: At first it just tastes like black tea, but then it is followed by a heavily fruited taste, without having the overwhelming sweetness of fruit, or the tartness of pomegranate. It smells really good too. There is a tiny bit of a vanilla taste, as well, which may be added as a way to hide how tart pomegranate can be.

Suggested Additions: Nothing suggested by the makers of the tea, however most black teas I like to sweeten with one tablespoon of white sugar. It doesn't need to be super sweet, but it tends to take the edge off the black tea, which can sometimes have a bitter taste.

Ingredients: Black tea, natural pomegranate flavor, other natural flavors.

Purpose: Caffeine! I didn't get enough sleep last night. However, I am also enjoying this tea with a pomegranate-flavored Greek yogurt and some cereal. It seems to be a perfect match. So I can also drink this tea just to enjoy the flavor.
