This green tea is made by Celestial Seasonings, in a beautiful box depicting some sort of sun goddess with leaves and pomegranates in her hair. The art on the box was done by Dagmar Fehlau, a breast cancer survivor. The box has lots of pink, and Celestial Seasonings is a "proud sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation."
Flavor: Green. I know, its a color, but certain teas just taste like their colors. This one tastes green, although it does not have the somewhat bitter flavor of some green teas. It also has a bit of a tart flavor from the cranberries and pomegranates, especially towards the bottom of the mug. However, it is not unpleasant, but a fruity tartness.
Suggested Additions: None. I prefer this tea completely au natural. However, if you feel you want some sweetener to counteract the tart flavor, I think a dab of honey would work best. Green tea contains so many health benefits that to put a processed or bleached sugar into it would seem wrong. Plus, honey just has a great, earthy sort of flavor that would go well with this tea.
Ingredients: Green tea, natural cranberry and pomegranate flavors with other natural flavors (contains soy lecithin), cranberries and pomegranates.
Purpose: I've had three cups of this in the past few days. The first was because I was craving green tea (perhaps my body was in need of some antioxidants?). The second was because it was morning and I needed a little caffeine to fight the morning headache I sometimes get from sleeping while congested. And today's cup of this tea was because I enjoyed the first two so much.
