LWC: Chill The Pomegranate Red Tea

Lisa's Weekly Coffee
By Lisa Sandrino

Chill The Pomegranate Red Tea

I love shopping at Marshall's department store especially at their gourmet section. I always stop by the coffee and tea section just to see what new and exciting flavors they have. As I came across the VYKASA Pomegranate Red Tea, I immediately say to myself : "this tea would not only be good hot but it would also make a refreshing summer beverage".

I went home and brewed up a cup of tea added some sugar and allowed it to chill in the fridge.
OH MY! I was right! It is totally refreshing and smells so sweet , its like sipping a cup of fresh berries.Simply Delicious!

The pomegranate red tea is a combination of black and green tea with just enough of the sophisticated and exotic sweet pomegranate, that truly brings out the richness in the beverage and obviously it is also important to highlight it's healthy benefits. Pomegranate tea is a great antioxidant tea either hot or cold.
