Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | 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.
