Trader Joe’s Organic Pomegranate White Tea
The pros: Trader Joe’s Organic Pomegranate White Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened, and the pomegranate doesn’t overwhelm your palate. Each tea bag can easily brew 20 ounces of tea. Don’t be fooled by the term “white tea” because this brewed a solid pink color.
The cons: If you are hoping for this to be brewed Pom Wonderful then you are mistaken. The pomegranate is subtle.

Trader Joe’s Watermelon Cucumber Cooler
The pros: Trader Joe’s Watermelon Cucumber Cooler is a love it or hate it flavor. It is light and refreshing, but not everyone will appreciate the cucumber flavor here. This drink does have a cult like following.
The cons: This may be a love it or hate it flavor. Regardless of your feelings towards this product, it is also seasonal, so if you love it, you better stock up on it. Availability of this product starts to dwindle before summer is over.

Trader Joe’s Lemongrass Spearmint Flavored Water

The cons: At a cost of less than a dollar per bottle, it might be financially better for you to infuse your own water at home, especially if you find you like your water with just a bit of natural flavoring.
