This gourmet green tea is a fruity take on a hot beverage and is packed with health benefits. From Toronto-based Tealish Fine Teas, the Pomegranate Goji Gourmet Green Tea is a part of their gourmet classics tea collection.
Being a green tea, this blend is already packed with anti-oxidants. The use of pomegranate and goji berry only ups the ante. Pomegranates are thought to have potential health benefits including fighting free-radicals and reducing blood pressure. Native to Asia, goji berries are often used in Chinese tonic soups for medicinal purposes.
Described as a smooth and fruity tea beverage, the delicious and delightful drink can be enjoyed at any point of the day as it contains low caffeine content.
