This is another tea that my mother-in-law gave me to try. Since the last one she recommended was good, I had high hopes for this one but it is not good.
I have no idea what is in the tea since everything on the wrapper is in German. The only English words are "mixed fruits and herbs". The picture on the wrapper looks like ar pomegranate (hence the "pom" in the name), an orange, some grape looking fruit and mint. I do not think the picture on the wrapper reflects the flavor of the tea bag inside, at least it did not taste like any of those things, lol. To me it tasted like (warm) cardboard.
I gave it a second chance to win me over just in case that was a bad batch. But I had the same opinion about the second cup I had.
Despite how much I hated it I went on a "internet search mission" to find a place to buy it, (for my mother-in-law since it was given to her). If you do a search with the word "Teekanne" you will not get a direct link to their website in the "results", however if you type it (www.teekanne.com) into your navigation bar it will take you to it. As stupid as it sounds I did not try that until after I read a few threads about this tea on a few forums and blogs. I was very surprised to see that so many people liked this tea (not this specific flavor). Once I got to Teekanne's website, I found out that it is owned by Snapple which makes me even more disappointed in this tea because I love Snapple’s drinks.
(At least I got a post out of it, lol)

The Pomadour Rose Hip, the one From German, is the best tea on the market. I gave it to over 200 of my customers for Christmas and they loved it. If anyone dosen't just love it, then they do not know a thing about great tea. It full of vitamin C too. Some people like to write bad things about German products, kinda like a hate crime, Everyone knows that German products are the best!
Snapple, a brand owned by Cadbury Beverage US, does not own Teekanne Teas. You may have been confused as the US division of Teekanne, Redco Foods, marketed a Snapple hot tea bag product in the US under a licensed agreement with Cadbury, the owner of the Snapple brand.
Teekanne Teas are in fact high quality but not all blends appeal to all peoples tastes.
Mother-in-laws know the best quality teas!
The Rose Hip Tea that you have really does taste bad but in Germany it is given to people who have stomach problems. That red thing on the package is actually rose hips which has a long curative history. The Pompadour brand is a high quality brand sold throughout Europe. This particular flavor does not appeal to me but try their peppermint tea which is full of flavor.
