One of my readers kindly gave me a sampler of Zhena's tea blends to review. Today's cup was Pomegranate Rose Green Tea. I was somewhat dubious about this one -- done badly it could have been like drinking bad potpourri.
I was very lucky. The Pomegranate Rose Green Tea is a nicely grassy green tea with the slightly sweet flavor of pomegranate lingering in the background. I honestly did not and do not taste the rose elements at all. At most, there's a slightly floral perfume to the brewed tea that could, I suppose, possibly suggest roses. It's important to watch the brewing time one this tea. If steeped too long it goes quite quickly into bitterness.
A little bit of honey is a nice addition. It enhances the pomegranate flavor.
