Biglow Pomegranate Green Tea (K-cup Review)




This is one of two random tea K-cups that i just had sitting around and decided to review today.  I'm just going to be honest and say that I was never a big fan of Biglow.  I mean, you can buy it at Big Lots and for 20 cents more, you could get Twinnings, which uses a higher quality tea and actually individually wraps tea bags.  But this is weird because Biglow is one of the cheapest name-brand teas and Keurig sells some of the most overpriced expensive coffee.  Let's see how this turns out.

Outsides:  A standard K-cup (a few of them have little rings on the bottoms to prevent the liquid from dripping as fast, but those are mostly the espresso K-cups).  I brewed it using the 8 or 9 oz setting.  As you can see, the liquid is pink and not a green tea color.  Also, this thing smells like candy.  Not pomegranate, but like hard candy.  I'd actually be pleased if it tasted like this, despite me trying to be more of a tea snob.

Insides:  Well, this definitely isn't for the tea purists but it's actually surprisingly good.  The pomegranate flavor is nice and strong and gives a sweet and sour taste to the liquid.  The tea is weak and a tad too bitter, but the pomegranate flavor kind of overtakes that.  Ok, you can buy better quality for less money but for those people who want to have a few fruity teas around the house for their Keurig, this is not a bad option.  Congratulations Biglow, you have impressed me.

Overall:  Still overpriced as hell for what it is, but it's fruity and not offensive like some of the other ones.

My Rating:  Try it!

I don't feel the need to put a website here because Biglow is a brand of tea that can be found in the vast majority of supermarkets.
