POM designs larger plastic bottle for teas

LOS ANGELES POM Wonderful has created a new, larger 16-oz. plastic bottle for its POM tea, just in time for summer.

The new portable bottle can be taken to the beach, to barbecues, on hikes or other outdoor activities.

All-natural POM teas are blends of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice with whole-leaf, handpicked tea leaves and POMx, which is an antioxidant-rich pomegranate extract. POMx is made from pomegranates grown in central California.

POM teas come in seven all-natural flavors; pomegranate, pomegranate blackberry, pomegranate lychee green tea, pomegranate peach passion white, light pomegranate hibiscus green, light pomegranate wildberry white and light pomegranate orange blossom red.

POM teas contain little or no caffeine and POM light teas are sweetened with erythritol and fructose. Erythritol contains less than one calorie per gram. It has been shown not to have any affect on glucose levels in diabetics or to cause tooth decay.

POM teas and POM Wonderful pomegranate juices are available at grocers and retailers nationwide in the refrigerated perishables section. The suggested retail price of POM tea is $2.99.
