Product Review - Tzinga Tropical Fruit




I recently came across this new flavour of Tzinga - Tropical Trip. In my previous review of the Lemon mint flavour, i had mixed reviews. When i saw this new flavour out there in the freezer, i decided to give it a try.

Tropical Trip, as the name hints, contains a mixed Tropical Fruit flavour consisting of Pear, Pineapple, Mandarin, Apple, Passionfruit and lemon. Here i must mention, all the flavours are well mixed, and so it takes time to identify the different components. Plus we have the regular caffeine, taurine, and sugar.

I bought it chilled, and the flavour was pleasant. It is nothing like the regular Red Bull'ish flavoured drinks, but it tastes good. A little on the fruity flavoured side, the drink seems pleasant to drink, and i would recommend it to the ones who're trying an energy drink for the first time, or to those who hate the typical strong flavour of Red Bull.

As for the packaging thing, personally speaking, i do dislike the plastic packaging. A tetrapack would have been better, but then, companies do things which are sometime confusing. Maybe its because Tetrapack increases costs, or the brand owners wanted to give their product a completely different identity for a product that comes in competition with the very dominating Red Bull.

Anyways, the drink did have mild effect on me. I was quite sleepy at the time when i had the drink. For the next two hours, i didn't feel sleepy, and neither too energetic(which Red Bull makes). I probably find Tzinga better than Red Bull. Reason being that it doesn't give an extreme kick.

And another notable thing. Its written very clearly that "not recomended for people who want to go early to bed" - a warning Red Bull should have written. When i first had Red Bull, it took me three days to get my regular sleeping routine back.

My review for Tzinga Tropical Fruit - 4 out of 5. Not an extreme kick, great flavour, great price just makes me find it the prefered choice.

What do you think? Do you share the same opinion, or think differently, feel free to pour in.
