God, what a name for a fruit juice. If the creative juices of their marketing department would be any more creative, they would come with up something better than that. Imagine going to a store and asking for this juice. Before you even finish, your face would be completely blue from the lack of oxygen and that would mean that you remember the name of the juice. If you do, either you are some sort of a genius or you have too much free time in your hands or you are a auntie.
Well, I pick up this pack the other day from NTUC but I didn’t have the time to have a photo taking session and a little taste test. Overall, I find the juice quite interesting. It is definitely not the usual stuff you find in the stores everyday. The taste is “a bit” sourish, especially at the end. I am guessing that this is the mangosteen juice talking. And when the sourish hits you, it hits you hard. Probably because the mixed juice itself is rather sweet as well. Something like a one-two comb. And I really like it. Too bad about the rawness of the mangosteen juice. I am not saying that it is bad but it does distract the drinker somewhat. Maybe it is just because I am not a mangosteen fan. Don’t worry about the pomegranate taste, you will hardly feel it in this drink, which is surprising considering that the Pomegranate flavour is usually the dominant one. Shows how strong the mangosteen taste is.
Anyway, I have taken a few photos of the pack.

The one with the crown and the white flesh is the mangosteen while the one with the reddish seeds is the Pomegranate.This juice has no sugar added and is made from 100% juice. Made from pure squeezed juice and concentrates! Hooray!

Wow, mangosteen is a wonder fruit! It is also high in antioxidant Vitamin C just like the Pomegranate. Normally in Singapore, people would eat mangosteen after eating durians, so I guess it also helps to reduce heatiness? Whatever, just drink it.

Not sure whether you can see from this picture but this contains artifical colourings and preservatives. Not good in my opinion. Hey, looking at the ingredients list, it also contains mango puree! I am guessing that this helps to sweeten the juice because I am pretty sure that the Pomegranate and Mangosteen won’t be sweet at all.

I poured myself a glass of the juice. It does look cloudy, probably because it contains some sort of husks as well as mango puree. You will need some time to get used to the taste but seriously, it is rather delicious. Don’t worry about the sourness, it will go away soon enough once after a few sips. If not, then you should probably stick to drinking pear juice or sugar water.

Another view of the glass of F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Pomegranate & Mangosteen Juice from the side. Looks really like a mixed juice drink.
Well, this is the end of the little review. If you have any juice you would like me to try out, leave me a comment. Better still, send me the drink and I will review it.
