I'm afraid this was a flop for me. My first thought on opening the packet was potpourri and that was about what it tasted like too. The cinnamon clashed with the rose and hibiscus and I gave up after a couple of sips.
Lightly spiced with cinnamon and ginger to accent the gently sweet notes of pomegranate and provide a warming tingle on a chilly fall day.

A floral, slightly fruity tea. I am not getting any hints of cinnamon or ginger in this cup. Somewhat tart, a spoonful of honey was a nice addition.
A lovely warm and fruity blend, but like most fruit herbals, it leaves me wanting a bit more. This one would pair well with a nutty green tea.
Received this in the CommuniTEA box. The aroma in the packet was peculiar. Once steeped, the mix of tartness and spice clashed and was unpleasant. Not for me.
Tart and sweet! Pomegranate and hibiscus are the first tastes noted, followed quickly by cinnamon. More of a mulling spice kinda taste overall
This one was ok...I think Pomegranate is a hard flavor to mimic. It's got a taste that's just not always easy to recreate (I feel the same way about cherry...real cherries taste nothing like 'cherry flavor'). In any case, this tea also had cinnamon in it, which felt a bit odd to me...cinnamon and fruit is not unheard of, of course, but I don't know that I feel it goes best with the more tart fruits and hibiscusy flavors. This is my personal opinion of course, but the flavors felt a bit disjointed. You expect that moment when Remy from Ratatouille puts the strawberry and the cheese in his mouth at the same time and it's a delicate dance of flavors...but here it didn't seem to work. Don't get me wrong...it was ok, drinkable for sure. But had I tasted it blindfold I never would have guessed pomegranate. So it became a vaguely fruity tea with cinnamon thrown in.
This has a very similar profile as passionfruit tango and not something I can get on board with. I like cinnamon and pomegranate and even hibiscus, but all together? Nope.
A spicy, berry filled tea that is a perfect night time treat before bed on a cold night.
Fruity and satisfying. I wasn’t so sure if I would like it, but it’s wonderful, especially if you like pomegranate.
I love the sharp and tart burst of the pomegranates in this light, refreshing, and delicious herbal tea.
It's fine but forgettable. I wish it was a little less apple-y, it tastes like really week cider. Even steeping it for a long time didn't help.
this is a great tea to drink for a morning wake up for even a afternoon relaxing or evening before bed but i do think it take a while longer then what is said on the direction for the time if you really want a strong flavor.
Oh pomegranate grove, how I wanted to be excited for you. I found this flavor lacking alone, with honey, with stevia. It might as well be another ginger concoction to my taste buds.
This tea tastes like a reminds my of a warm glass of apple cider if it was made with pomegranate not apple. This tea is sour and sweet at the same time. We also loved the bright pink colour of the tea. Absolutely gorgeous. If you want more of a sweetened version. Just add some honey. It is Christmas in a cup.
really fruity with a nice tartness! i didn't need to add much sugar for it to be sweet. :) i ended up brewing it longer than the recommended time and it still tasted great
When i opened the bag the scent was disappointing. Vague. But i gave it a try anyway. The tea is actually quite tasty, fruity with a pleasant tartness. However, the aftertaste was pure rose petals. So unless you like that soapy aftertaste, avoid this one.
Not for me, thank you.
This Pomegranate Grove tea is delicious. My daughter finished this sampler tea quickly and I was unaware. Fortunately I was able to get the last one and I can see why this one disappeared. It has a nice unique fruity flavor. Will buy again next time a bigger bag.
Spicy and sweet. This reminds me more of a rose and berry jam, with anple cinnamon. Was initially a little disgruntled until I realized this is technically a Christmas season blend, and it made complete sense. For autumn and winter this is going to be such a mood booster! It literally tastes wholesome, like the boost of joy and vitamin C a person might need during those darker and gloomy weathered days.
As far as the five tastes go, not too much if any bitter. Sour, fruity sweetness (assuming the pom and hibiscus,) rich florals from the rose, strong cinnamon spice both on the nose (whether dry or steeped,) and on the palate.
This is probably my favorite 'used for PMS' type tea that isn't jasmine flavored. Have also added a spoonful of Berry Creme Compote to this for uber antioxidants and red fruit flavor--delectable!
Says I brew it for 3 mins but realistically, it's more like 3-10. You can't oversteep this one, but a long steep means less flavor for a second brew-through.
The fruitiness is subtle, which is nice. There is a hint of spice that balances it out well.
The pomegranate tastes as good as the one that Persephone ate while in the Underworld... though luckily, this tea doesn't require you to swallow the seeds and stay there for six months!
Not a huge fan of this one I'm afraid. It smells kind of like a scented candle or soap... I think there are too many flavours trying to complete, and it just ends up clashing. The cinnamon doesn't quite work with the floral notes of the orange and apple, and I barely taste any pomegranate.
This was a great iced tea for my family picnic. It doesn’t need sugar but the kids like too add it and stir and stir and stir!
Hard to escape the tart taste without sweeteners. Not my cup of tea but still a fine cup
This smells and tastes like a Christmas air freshener. It is okay but not great. It's very weird drinking this in a non-Christmas context.
This was a great winter flavor herbal tea. I mixed it with cranberry juice and fresh cutie juice. Made a nice hot punch but not to strong on the spices.
Very tart. Good flavors but not my thing. I bought this to make a Christmas set
Almost has a little spice to it, not my favorite… but still able to enjoy it.
Lovely. Dark and fruity, yet bright and fragrant. Wonderful as a cup of hot tea at night before bed. Also great iced on a busy afternoon.
I am a new tea convert and this is the only one I have tried out of my sample pack and I am a huge fan! Delicious and doesn't need any sweetener. I will definitely buy more of this.
This is one of my favorite teas to make iced tea with, it has such a wonderful spiced flavor which reminds me of the fall and winter. It is pretty good hot too with a bit of honey.
This tea is delightfully tart and very delicious holiday blend. Perfect for Fall nights and into crisp winter mornings.
This is a great fruity tea. It has the right balance of sour and sweet. I especially like it as an iced tea. It does need a long steep.
The balance of fruit and spice is perfect. This would make an excellent iced tea as well. I added a drop of honey. Delicious!
Really nice as a winter iced tea:) Doesn't knock my current favourites of Adagio infusions out of their place as winners but still a really nice option, especially seasonally.
Good flavor but I probably would not drink it on its own. I prefer mixing it with other blends. It does very well with some mint to lift it.
I enjoyed this fruity tea so much. It was a good way to end the day.
It was kind of like a fruity chai. I would rather just have a spiced cider or a regular chai.
I like pomegranate and this tea had great pomegranate aroma and taste. Beautiful red color. I enjoyed the subtle tartness I enjoyed without sweetener .
Nice but nothing about it makes me think of pomegranate. More reminiscent of spiced apple cider.
Not gonna go into too much detail here, I'll just say this was really nasty hot but actually quite nice as it cooled. Maybe as an iced brew with sugar it would work better.
It's funny that this is called Pomegranate Grove, because the taste I mostly got from it was more reminiscent of peaches than anything. That being said, it's still a great tea!
The cinnamon and apple are dominant, with a nice bit of tartness from the berries. Reminds me more of apple pie than pomegranate, but still quite tasty.
I taste cinnamon. The color of the tea is nice and bright.
Huge fan of this one. The color is beautiful, and it made a too warm day feel nice and autumnal.
It was drinkable, but I didn't finish it as there are other teas I prefer.
This herbal tea is a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and spicy flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and warm your soul. The aroma is intoxicating, with hints of citrus, rose, and honey. The flavor is complex and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart pomegranate, smooth and creamy vanilla, and a touch of spice from ginger and cardamom. This blend is a joy to sip, and will leave you feeling energized and satisfied. Pomegranate Grove Blend is not just a tea, it's an experience.
I don't have high hopes for a tea packet that smells like one of those Glade plug in air fresheners. So it wasn't a shock the first sip in it tastes like Glade too. Oh boy, this one is very unpleasant to my taste buds. I don't know where the pomegranate is, but the hibiscus and cinnamon are beating the crap out of each other! Apparently, ginger and rose don't get along either. Sour, weird, perfumy... This one goes on my 'top ten worst teas of 2023' list.
I forgot about it and let it steep for about 30 minutes. In reality, I think that was a very good thing for it. Doing so, the spice elements of the ginger and cinnamon have a strong showing, along with the apple and orange - things I think would have otherwise been lost to the hibiscus and rose. Those two are definitely the most prevalent to me, and while not my personal favorite, if you enjoy those it may be worth a shot. I agree with others that I think this might be better as a cold brew.
The strongest note in this cup was hibiscus, with some spices.
Fruity, sweet tea! Usually not a huge fan of overly fruity teas, but this was nice and warming. Would be a great iced tea!
