Meh, not a fan.

I was selected to try Bai Zambia Bing Cherry, and I’ll be honest… I wasn’t a fan. I’ve tried other flavours and found them a little better but not much.

The cherry flavour tasted almost medicinal, and I tried watering it down and it didn’t help. I appreciate that it has 1g of sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. However I wish it was made with a healthier sweetener instead of erythritol..

It also has a lot of caffeine so that’s something to watch out for.

Tasted very fake

I wanted to like this, I really did. I love cherries and thought this would a be a refreshing beverage. At 10 calories a bottle, it would have been a nice treat. But there were two big issues: Finding it, and the actual product.
To find a bottle was a challenge. I checked all of my regular grocery stores and finally ended up getting a bottle in a random drugstore that I don't usually go in (but I was thirsty and had actually wandered in for a bottle of water). It took quite a while to find this product.
And then I tried it.
With erythritol, a plant based sugar alcohol which is now commonly used as a low calorie sweetener, being the second ingredient, this drink coated my tongue with a cloying sweetness that just wouldn't let go. It overtook any of the tart-sweet cherry flavour that I was looking forward to. The cherry juice is actually the fourth item in the ingredients list, behind water (fair enough), erythritol, and citric acid. While erythritol is a tooth safe sugar, citric acid is not great for teeth. Erythritol is linked to many health issues when consumed in larger quantities, but is commonly used because it's 0 calorie, can be advertised as natural (it's produced by fermenting a sugar found in corn, and is naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables in very small quantities), and doesn't effect blood sugar levels. Honestly, one bottle isn't going to hurt a person and I would have rated it higher if the erythritol was lower on the ingredient list, but I really didn't enjoy the overly sweet flavour. Unfortunately, I was already out and about when I went to try the product and didn't have time to pick up a replacement, so I ended up finishing it, since it was better than nothing. I didn't find it particularly refreshing, and mostly it just tasted like a cheap fruit drink.

Just okay flavoured water

This was honestly just okay. I’m not a big fan of flavoured water so the taste did nothing for me. As for the benefits it’s hard to tell from just one bottle. Overall, I wouldn’t purchase this product.

Good concept...bad taste

I received this drink for free in exchange for an honest review. I tried the Bing Cherry flavor. I did like how the drink packaging looks. It drew me in and I felt like I'd be drinking something delicious and healthy however, once I took the first sip I didn't like it. It has a terrible after taste. I instantly got the fake sugar taste that I really dislike. Also, the amount of sugar in the drink is not appealing, especially if it's a fake or substitute which is the taste I got. Not a fan.

You can taste the erythritol

I purchased this with a free product coupon and had high hopes but the taste of the erythritol was too much. It was actually quite off putting. I definitely wouldn't purchase this with my own money
