Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea
By: | Oct 5, 2006
AriZona is quite the innovator when it comes to non-carbonated bevergaes. Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea harnesses the antioxidant power from pomegranate and green tea, both of which are good sources. It has a refreshing taste, which is not very sweet and with a slight tartness and taste of pomegranate.
The Pomegranate Green tea is not a 'diet' drink so they are no artificial sweeteners in it. Instead they use a combination of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and honey - 18 grams of sugars per 8 ounce servings and the bottles are either 16 or 20 ounce, which means there are 36 or 45 grams of sugar per bottle. That's a lot - like 10 teaspoons of sugar! There is also 70 calories per serving - which means 140 to 175 calories per bottle.
The 20 ounce bottle of Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea cost $0.99 when I bought it at a local convenience store. Although I love the taste, I am not happy about the amount of sugar in it.
Arizona also makes one of my favorite zero calorie beverages (now that I have weaned myself off sodas), Arizona Diet Green Tea with Ginseng, which was out before everybody (okay Nestea and Lipton) jumped on the green tea bandwagon.

I'm so bummed out about the amount of HFCS in this drink. You think you're doing something good for your body, but guess what! You're not. And real pomegranite juice costs a fortune. *sigh*
I am huge fan of Arizona Diet White Cran-Apple Green Tea. It has only 5 cal and 2 g of carb per serving.
I have never tried this kind of Arizona but I imagine if the taste is anything near their green tea with ginseng and honey that it is great.
