Question: What is your impression about these foods for the health benefit?

I eat it, the dog eats it, the horses eat it.  This stuff is amazing.  Allegedly it has antiviral and antibacterial properties but adding this to my diet and going paleo in the foods I eat has taken 15 years off my age in how I feel!

Question: How did you think the aroma?

The smell and appearance of this coffee are very attractive when first opened. The bag is vacuum sealed. The coffee is very finely ground and has the soft texture of clay. The aroma is rich and delicious.Opinions will differ on taste. While I liked it, my husband wasn't so keen on the flavor. I guess it depends on your feelings about chocolate.Still . . . Folgers Gourmet Selections makes a decently priced chocolate coffee that smells just as good and tastes slightly better.

Question: How was the recipe?

My initial impression of the sauce is that it has a rich ruby color speckled with raspberry seeds.  It has a thinner consistency than I had envisioned - I liken it to a raspberry syrup found at a pancake restaurant - but was glad to find it clung to the meat with ease.  The sauce starts out sweet and finished on a medium spicy note.  I used it as an accompaniment to steak and plan to try it on both chicken wings and pork.  The bottle comes with a mini recipe booklet with more ideas.  One recipe I plan to try out on Super Bowl Sunday is one that uses a block of cream cheese and the sauce. Highly recommended.  Will purchase again.

Question: How is the flavor?

I was so excited to see the box of 18 snacks arrive, and my whole family eagerly dug in. The combination of the salty cashews, sweet pomegranates, and vanilla is delicious and very flavorful. My husband, two teenagers and I gave the product two thumbs up, initially. The problem is that the taste is so strong and distinctive that you get tired of it quickly. After a few days, we left the remaining snacks in the box. No one wanted to take them to school or work. We eventually finished the box, but it did take quite a while. This product is probably best purchased in smaller quantities.

Question: How was the ginger flavor?

Pu'erh tea is black tea (fermented green leaves) but fermented in a way that natural microbes plus pressure and aging give special properties. It's believed to have health benefits. A friend introduced me to this tea at a Chinese herb shop in Thailand. It came in cubes, sort of pressed, and tasted slightly of earth and camphor, which I later found out meant it was particularly good. This tea was not pleasant to drink but if you were feeling "punk" with a cold coming on, it would set you up almost immediately. I've run out of it and haven't been back to Asia in a decade. So I was motivated to try Numi's variety of Pu'erh.The Numi Ginger Pu'erh is a lot milder and pleasant to drink; it doesn't have a too-pronounced strong, mushroomy, earthy taste but it is there in the background.  I wish the ginger were stronger--but that is easily fixed. I tried throwing in a slice of fresh ginger, crushed slightly and it made for a very pleasant drink that felt nice on a raw Spring day.I find tea for me has medicinal benefits for me (your results may vary.) I was reluctant to try Pu'erh tea again because you can't tell if it's genuine or sort of a fast-process to get it to market.  I notice that on Numi's website, you can buy loose Pu'erh tea and even the brick form, which is the the traditional fermented, pressed form that improves with age. Since they are taking the trouble to sell Pu'erh in various authentic forms, I feel better about using their brand. Typically, bag tea is the worst quality leaf--the "fannings" or the broken leaves and dust that gather when you process tea. They work for bags as they steep quickly. I'm thinking I'd like to try their loose or pressed tea and see if I can find something similar to that tea we used to purchase in Bangkok at that Chinese herb store. Meanwhile, this is a good tea that I like especially when I have a cold or am just tired and need a lift.

I love the packaging and ability to make the drink as strong as I want. The flavor isn't as great as the packaging, though this is the most appealing of the three I've tried. Definitely for people who don't mind artificial sweetener taste.

Question: How is it flavor?

When I saw this Savory Tea, it looked appealing.  I drink 2-3 cups of tea per day and the concept of a savory tea seemed interesting.  The flavors even sounded good, at least most of them: tomato mint, spinach chive, fennel spice, carrot curry, broccoli cilantro and beet cabbage.  Unfortunately, none of them appeal to me when brewed.Tomato Mint: Not a combination I would normally consider.  I don't prefer it as tea either.  The mint, to me, overpowers any hint of tomato.Spinach Chive: Kind of a neutral taste - not heavy on the chive side and more like green tea with a hint of chive.Fennel Spice:  I love fennel and this one was probably my favorite.  Notes of fennel but not overpowering.Beet Cabbage:  Really?  Both have very earthy flavors and together they are not drinkable.  Smells & tastes like a cabbage patch.Carrot Curry: Curry is naturally overpowering and it remains so in this blend.  I am not a big curry fan so this one did not appeal to me at all.Broccoli Cilantro:  Not much cilantro in this (I cook with cilantro daily) - more like broccoli juice.  Not for me.This is not a product I would buy again.  I'll stick with my normal tea.

Question: How is the oil?

I was searching for a lotion for my husband's psoriasis and the search engine brought up coconut oil!  I thought that was unusual, but decided to start researching coconut oil and its uses.  Wow!  This natural oil has so many uses and is extremely healthy!  It is anti-bacterial, anti-microbal, anti-viral, and anti-fungal.I've been putting it on my husband's psoriasis for three days, but it hasn't been long enough to tell yet whether it will help; I'll keep you posted.Awesome moisturizer--I've been using it for the last week as a body oil after I shower and everynight on my face before bed, and my skin is so smooth and soft!  It soaks right in as long as you use it sparingly with no greasy feeling.Natural deoderant--I found a homemade deoderant recipe on the internet today and will let you know in a later post how it works.Toothpaste Booster--Since it has anti-bacterial properties, I have been using 1/2 and 1/2 of my usual toothpaste and coconut oil to brush my teeth!  I know that sounds disgusting, but coconut oil does not feel oily in your mouth...honest!I have been taking 1T morning (with my calcium pills because it's supposed to help your body absorb nutrients more efficiently), noon and night without changing what I eat and lost two pounds in a week!  I was pleasantly surprised when I felt full for longer periods of time and was also eating less at each meal because I felt satisfied.  Another plus was that I was no longer constantly snacking in the evenings, which has been my worst habit to break but now I don't even feel like snacking!  Some people mentioned theyI found my dog loves licking my skin after putting on coconut oil, so I've been researching to find out if it's good for dogs.  From what I've read so far, it is just as healthy for her, too!

Question: Which of the cookie flavors do you find better?

My husband is a big chocolate fan and he loves his cookies.  I like choclate chip cookies with white chocolate in them, so these sweet and chewy cookies are a nice compromise.  I like the crunch, he loves the fudgy center, that, when slightly chilled, make the cookies even more delicious.The package arrived rather abused, but that was perhaps because for a week our mail was on hold while we had to evacuate for a wildfire.  These cookies still get crumbly and on a hot day the gooey dough make them even  stick together like one sculptured chocolate piece of art.These are definitely a winner, and any chocolate lover will give these two sticky-gooey thumbs up.

This tea is aromatic, smooth, and pleasant. Happily, the taste is not overly strong, as cardamom can be. It's a mellow tea perfect for a relaxing evening. The fact it is organic and non-GMO is a huge plus--even more appreciated--the note on the back talking about its fair labor practices. Good tea with a conscience!

Question: What is flavor?

I don't usually like plain almonds; when I eat almonds they are usually highly sugared, covered in cinnamon or gooey'd up in honey like the ones you can get warm at the mall.  When I saw this product, I thought it sounded yummy, so I thought I'd give them a try, turns out I was right.  They have just enough cocoa to satisfy my sweet tooth, but not too much that it covers up the flavor of the nut.  It's not as sweet or as sugared as those mall almonds, these have a more subtle taste.I have been trying to snack in between meals and found grabbing a small handful of these was both delicious and satisfying.  Even my husband and son enjoyed them.  I was pleasantly surprised with this product and can see me keeping these in my pantry for my little midnight snack attacks.Cherise Everhard, June 2008

Question: How is flavor?

I tried this The Switch Black Cherry flavor as well as the Watermelon Strawberry.  I happen to like black cherry as a flavor for beverages, so keep that in mind as you read this review.FLAVOR:The beverage was sweet, but not overly sweet, and not at all tart.  It tasted similar to other black cherry carbonated drinks I've had.  I would compare it in taste to Knudsen's Black Cherry Spritzer with Switch being a tad more "soda" tasting.  It is much lighter tasting than actual black cherry sodas I've had, such as Dr. Brown's.INGREDIENTS:The Switch is advertised as 100% juice.  It is, but it is juice from concentrate.  I prefer juice squeezed from the fruit or vegetable itself.  In the case of The Switch the concentrate is filtered sparkling water.  I'm fine drinking concentrates and I drink soda too so I'm not being a health fanatic, but be aware if you are expecting actual juice, this product is filtered water used to reconstitute the juice concentrate.  The juices uses are apple, grape, acerola and cherry.  If you aren't familiar with acerola, it is a cherry like fruit, but with three lobes.  Acerola is high in Vitamin C.NUTRITION:One 8.3 ounce can of The Switch Black Cherry contains:* 130 calories* 15 mg sodium*35 g carbs (33 g sugar)So keep in mind while it has no added sugar it still has the sugar content from its ingredients.  It has more calories than a can of Coke Classic!  It does not have any corn syrup or added sugars though.It also contains 100% of the recommended level of Vitamin C.PRICE:The product costs more than soda, but the ingredients are better.  It costs a little less than Knudsen's Black Cherry Spritzer product.  I use this comparison because the Knudsen product is similar in taste and basic content (filtered sparkling water, fruit concentrate), but a little different in ingredients (no acerola, using pear, pineapple and plum instead), with The Switch having a slight bit more carbs and sugars.Overall, this is a tasty drink.  It is somewhere between a soda and a health drink, definitely better for you than a soda, but not quite as "natural" as say all natural juices.  However, if you want a carbonated drink, The Switch is better for you than soda.

Answer: The Switch Black Cherry flavor as well as the Watermelon Strawberry

<hl> I tried this The Switch Black Cherry flavor as well as the Watermelon Strawberry . <hl> I happen to like black cherry as a flavor for beverages, so keep that in mind as you read this review. FLAVOR: The beverage was sweet, but not overly sweet, and not at all tart. It tasted similar to other black cherry carbonated drinks I've had. I would compare it in taste to Knudsen's Black Cherry Spritzer with Switch being a tad more "soda" tasting. It is much lighter tasting than actual black cherry sodas I've had, such as Dr. Brown's. INGREDIENTS: The Switch is advertised as 100% juice. It is, but it is juice from concentrate. I prefer juice squeezed from the fruit or vegetable itself. In the case of The Switch the concentrate is filtered sparkling water. I'm fine drinking concentrates and I drink soda too so I'm not being a health fanatic, but be aware if you are expecting actual juice, this product is filtered water used to reconstitute the juice concentrate. The juices uses are apple, grape, acerola and cherry. If you aren't familiar with acerola, it is a cherry like fruit, but with three lobes. Acerola is high in Vitamin C.NUTRITION:One 8.3 ounce can of The Switch Black Cherry contains:* 130 calories* 15 mg sodium*35 g carbs (33 g sugar)So keep in mind while it has no added sugar it still has the sugar content from its ingredients. It has more calories than a can of Coke Classic! It does not have any corn syrup or added sugars though. It also contains 100% of the recommended level of Vitamin C.PRICE:The product costs more than soda, but the ingredients are better. It costs a little less than Knudsen's Black Cherry Spritzer product. I use this comparison because the Knudsen product is similar in taste and basic content (filtered sparkling water, fruit concentrate), but a little different in ingredients (no acerola, using pear, pineapple and plum instead), with The Switch having a slight bit more carbs and sugars.

Question: What do you think about flavor?

I am an avid black tea drinker. And while I've had unflavored pu'eh tea, I've found that it tastes rather like dirt. It is very well suited, though, to be the base of a flavored tea. And that is why I wanted to give this a try.First, the good. The spicing is absolutely appropriate. I've had some 'chai' teas that are WAY over-flavored. This tea's spice is great. The cardonon is very flavorful without being overpowering.But I must say that I was expecting a more robust tea all around (pu'eh may taste like dirt on its own, but it is a pretty full-flavored tea). Even though the spice was decent, the pu'eh seemed very weak as a 'base' in this tea. So, the taste is spice and nothing behind it.I was also amazed that this tea is packaged as 'higher caffeine' because I wouldn't have known that from drinking the tea. IF there is more caffiene in here than in my customary Irish or Scottish Breakfast, I couldn't tell.So, there you have it; a 3 star tea. That may just say more about my personal taste for robust and strong teas, but if you have similar preferences, this tea may not be your cup ot tea.

Question: How light  is the cookie?

I was excited to receive a package of Quaker Soft Baked Cookies through Influenster to try out.  I was surprised at how reasonable the ingredients were and how low in fat the single serve package was.  The cookie itself tasted fresh, soft and delicious.  I would definitely buy these for myself as a little treat and for the family.  Try them for yourself!

Question: Does the chips a good cooking point?

These are little airy and delicious nuggets of goodness...except of course, they aren't nuggets, lol. Really though, these chips are nice and crunchy while also being light and airy. The salt and vinegar flavor is just right...not too strong, but never lacking. Actually, my only real complaint is that i find it difficult to stop eating them. However, that is simply my cross to bear.Enjoy!

Question: How is cookie?

Overall, I liked the cookies for their flavor, pleasant aroma and texture.  However, while somewhat moist and pleasantly chewy, they did taste a little dry. I had a few with my usual coffee, and they paired quite well.  I also had a few with milk, and that didn't turn out well.The cookies actually reminded me of a few of the high-fiber energy bars on the market.  The cookies themselves were heavy on the oats and quite generous with the chocolate (but not the almonds).  Each cookie was quite substantial and just two of them with milk could be a satisfying meal.The cookies were soft and chewy, but not at all gooey, like eating a jelly bean or peanut butter.  The oat content had good consistency and the total cookie was pleasing to nibble on.Would I buy the product if given the chance?  Probably not, as it is not a good dippin' cookie.  I tried pairing it with milk, and it did not dip well (it fell apart when wetted), though it did taste good with milk.  Still, the fiber content and heft alone have their merits, and in a pinch, I would definitely take a few bites.

Question: What is flavor?

Back to Nature provides foods directed at a health conscious consumer market. The box is 100% recycled content and promotes BTN's commitment to sustainability and endorsement by The Nature Conservancy. It is a product line of processed food giant Kraft foods, so when we see 100% natural on the product we need to look closer. The product does have added sugar (it uses cane juice, honey, sugar, and brown rice syrup as sweeteners, when honey and rice syrup would have been plenty of sweetness and more natural than adding isolated sugar). There is natural flavoring added, which isn't specific and could be misleading. The product is not organic or certified non-GMO either, so it really isn't 100% natural even though they can legally use that description. That being said it is more natural than most crackers on the market and these are tasty crackers if you like apple-cinnamon. The grains are whole grains (wheat and oats) and there are no artifical preservatives. I like these crackers but if I were eating a lot of crackers I'd find something that is more natural and less sweetened than these.

Question: What flavor does it have?

The texture reminded me of the center of a Fig Newton cookie but slightly moister. I would use these on a camping trip or hiking event but would not use on a daily basis.  The flavor was bland and I did not care for the texture which I found to be pastey.  Tended to stick to the roof of my mouth and was a little hard to swallow.  Did not get a distinct blueberry flavor. The most flavorful was when a bite would contain a nut.  The actual appearance of the bar is not appealing in the least.  I almost threw half of it away but then went ahead and forced the rest down.  Organic healthy snacks can be healthy and taste good but not this bar.  I kept thinking of wet soggy flavored cardboard.

Question: Is a dry cookie?

When Paul Newman was alive his big foodie project was salad dressing - and it was GOOD.Then his daughter got into the mix and decided to peddle foods that are on trend with certain diets (vegan, organic, gluten free, etc.) and the results are dismal.Overpriced small portions that aren't particularly good or even when not awful are not better than other brands. These cookies are NOT good.Small in size I couldn't help but notice how everyone in the bag was uniformly burnt on the bottom. Surprisingly flavorless for a gingersnap UNTIL you bite into the candied ginger. Then you have a sudden burst of flavor stuck like a gummy candy to your teeth while the rest of your mouth is trying to process a hard cookie. Not my favorite sensation. Normally I love to dip my gingersnaps in milk, unfortunately even this did not improve them for me. I did not finish the bag and will not be recommending them to anyone else.If you love Paul Newman & want to support his charities - stick with the salad dressing.If you want a great gingersnap that is awesome with milk - get Stauffer's!

Question: How do you like scent?

I am a tea drinker. Lately I have been enjoying different flavored teas and herb teas.  This tea has a mildly sweat citrus flavor that I enjoy with a hint of a green tea flavor.As I have moved from black teas to flavored teas and herb teas I have learned that the name of a product and the box cover does not always represent the flavor.  In this case it does a good job.I get a sweet taste that I assume comes from the jasmine and a slight tangy sweet taste from the citrus. I also get a hint of a green tea flavor as well.  The flavors are mild but I have found this to be the case in most teas like this. I actually was concerned the Jasmine might make this too sweet but thankfully it was not. I wish the citrus was a bit stronger but overall this is a good tea.I do like that fact that Lipton cares about the environment and people who work to cultivate tea and lists on the back of the box that the tea is "Rainforest Alliance Certified."  I did a search on the web and this means that farms that are "Rainforest Alliance Certified" meet set criteria when it comes to protecting the environment and ensuring employees on the farms are paid a decent wage and have good working conditions. I am neither an expert on the environment nor wage and work criteria but this seems to be a good thing and I feel better drinking a tea like this knowing workers were treated decently and thought was given to protecting the environment.I gave this four stars because I thought the citrus flavor could have been a bit stronger but this is still a good tasting tea.

Question: How is the flavor?

I had great fears this tea would be somehow too heavy on the vanilla as it seems every product that's labelled as having some vanilla flavoring overdoes it a little. I was pleasantly surprised to find the vanilla is subtle and does not take focus away from the tart blackberry flavor. It's a nice balance. I can now rest at ease and happily drink the rest of the box. I usually buy Celestial Seasonings for any of the flavored herbal teas (drink Yorkshire for the black teas) but the Lipton herbal teas are also perfectly palatable and I will probably work a few of the Lipton flavors into the rotation. I tend to make larger cups of teas (~12 oz per bag) and one bag of this tea worked for all my water fine with a good level of flavor. I think I still prefer Celestial, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a cup of this Lipton. Go on and give it a try, it might surprise you too.

Question: How do you like having cookie in your breakfast?

I love me some oatmeal cookies.  Throw in some chocolate chips instead of raisins and you have the ultimate experience...sometimes.  These cookies by Quaker are quite soft but taste very dry and bland.  I tried one cookie and doubt that I will ever have another taste.

Question: What do you think about flavor?

As an addicted coffee drinker, I love trying out new flavors.  I have, of course, drank Starbucks coffee before, as well as Vanilla flavored coffees.  However, I have not had the two combined together into one coffee.  I can honestly say that I was not disappointed with Starbucks Natural Fusions Ground Coffee, Vanilla Flavored.  The package is incredibly well sealed and upon opening, the scent is mouth-watering and fresh.The amount used is the same as with any other coffee - 2 TBS per 6 oz of water.  This, of course, can be adjusted for each individual's preference.  The scent is heavenly, as the coffee is brewing and the taste is very robust and holds a light flavor of vanilla.  The vanilla flavoring is a very gentle and light taste, almost a whisper soft hint.  In addition, the taste is not bitter, but smooth and delicious.  I am one who drinks with a bit of sugar and cream, rather than straight black, as well as being rather picky on my coffee, as it bothers my stomach if it is overly acidic.  I had not problems, at all, with this particular coffee.I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a full-bodied coffee with a slight hint of a vanilla taste.  This makes for a delicious drink any time of the day.

I am one who drinks with a bit of sugar and cream, rather than straight black, as well as being rather picky on my coffee, as it bothers my stomach if it is overly acidic. I had not problems, at all, with this particular coffee. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a full-bodied coffee with a slight hint of a vanilla taste. This makes for a delicious drink any time of the day.

As an addicted coffee drinker, <hl> I love trying out new flavors <hl>. I have, of course, drank Starbucks coffee before, as well as Vanilla flavored coffees. However, I have not had the two combined together into one coffee. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed with Starbucks Natural Fusions Ground Coffee, Vanilla Flavored. The package is incredibly well sealed and upon opening, the scent is mouth-watering and fresh.The amount used is the same as with any other coffee - 2 TBS per 6 oz of water.

Question: What was the smell like?

I love coffee, but prefer mild blends.  My husband on the other hand, loves 'smack you in the face" bold coffee. I thought I'd give this a try to see if the low acid version would make my stomach feel better.It has a very strong, deep aroma. Very much like being in a Turkish coffee house. I found the taste too strong, even when diluted in half with mild. It's pretty potent!  My husband however, thought it was fantastic. So if you love a bold, deep coffee but can't deal with the stomach pains it can create-give this a try.I'd be interested to try some 'lighter' blends if Puroast creates any.  I do appreciat the low acid aspect, and I think they could reach a wider audience with different blends and perhaps even flavored options.

Question: Why are crisp cookies so delicious?

I wasn't sure what to expect with these cookies, but I was happy with them after I tried them. The cookies are crisp and crunchy and taste much like other vanilla/sugar cookie type cookies. The filling has a light, creamy lemon taste. It is a nice combination and overall a light flavor. The cookies themselves are not overpowering with flavor and neither is the lemon filling. I will look for these in my local grocery store. Pretty good for something different than the usual chocolate chip or Oreo cookies.

Question: How is the scent?

This is an interesting pack of organic herbal tea.  Based on the tea alone, I would give this product three stars.  I simply didn't like it enough to warrant a higher rating.  But I'm giving it four stars because this "Garden Pack" is really a sampler of the company's different flavors that allows customers to test out which flavors they might like.  I would recommend this product to people who like to drink their tea "neat," that is, without milk or sugar.  All the flavors have an earthy taste.  Some of them benefit by having the flavor softened with milk, but I'll leave that to your own experimentation.  If you like veggies and earthy food in general, this is really good stuff.  It makes me imagine I'm drinking the organic isle at the grocery store!

Question: Do you want some tea?

These are the little cups that you use for the tea machines. If you haven't seen one, I have encountered quite a few in use at local doctor's offices where they offer various types of tea drinks, sort of a high-end treat for the patients. I got one of the machines at The Goodwill Store for a few bucks, (lots of them there! I think people get these machines but they get tired of fooling with them pretty quickly. I really like the one I got.)Anyway, the tea itself is excellent and it provides the great flavor that we have come to expect from Lipton. The product is easy to use and I have found it very convenient.Highly recommended.

Question: Is the flavor of the deep fried fish good?

This is one of the worst products I have tried.  Though I am not a regular tea drinker, I do enjoy a cup of interesting tea from time to time, so this assortment sounded unusual, but intriguing and I was eager to try the various flavors.The aroma of the tea is quite pleasant, reminiscent more of broth than tea.  However, the flavor of each of the selections was simply awful.  Specifically, each cup was VERY weak despite allowing the tea bag to steep for several minutes.  The flavor barely comes through and is like weak, nearly flavorless broth.  At best, they taste like the vegetable or herb was dipped in for a short time.I believe the use of the word "tea" is quite misleading.  Even as a broth, it is sub-par.  I would strongly suggest sampling one of these teas before investing in an entire box.  It's the kind of product that will probably wind up on a back shelf in your pantry and eventually tossed out.

Question: How is oil?

Hollywood Safflower Oil is our go to oil for most cooking. The smoke point is higher than olive oil, so I set off the smoke alarms less often. It's also very good for making popcorn.

Question: How light  is the cookie?

I am a big fan of all types of cookies, including all varieties of Fig Newtons. These Fruit Thins are not exactly a thin Fig Newton, they are a thin, circular cookie with bits of fig and a honey flavor. The taste is reminiscent of the original Fig Newtons, but there is no soft, paste filling.The cookies are perfect for a light treat with a cup of tea, and the thinner size keeps them from being too sweet or filling.  I think you could compare them somewhat to a sweet biscuit instead of a full size Fig Newton. Light and crisp, my husband and I both enjoyed these cookies, and have already bought another bag.

Question: How did you like the price?

I'm a tea junkie. This unique flavor is perfect served hot or iced. The smell alone is enough to make my mouth water!I like the new bag, as well. I think the shape allows more flavor to seep through.

Question: How is the price?

I am not one to play the race card, but when it comes to tea I stand firmly on my Britishness.  Tetley's British Blend is real tea, not the pallid, anemic apology for tea that skulks in silly little bags (twee bags) with strings and tags and staples and other absurd paraphernalia attached, in a vain attempt to disguise the uselessness of trying to extract any vestige of taste from the contents.  These are round, robust bags that sit purposefully at the base of the cup and mean business.  They contain real tea with real taste.  Make sure the water is boiling hot when you pour it on, give the bag a minute to soak - encourage it with a little squeezing - then add a drop of low-fat milk or a slice of lemon and enjoy a true cuppa, taking time to sneer at the poor, deluded fools around you, sipping at their pathetic rosehip infusions or vanilla flavored Lobsang Souchang Rama Gupta, or whatever it is.The shelf life is long enough for you to buy it in bulk, and Amazon's price is good, so treat yourself to a proper cuppa.  Coffee can only start your day.  Tea can make it.

Question: Is it a bad flavor what it feels like?

Everyone has their own personal tastes, but to me this is a Wow. Why so? First I love the taste. It reminds me of the days when I was young drinking Boones Farm Apple wine on a Friday night. Some may prefer, or liken it to champagne.I'm on a diet, lost the first 10 pounds in 12 days. It is a simple diet, eat as much natural fruit, and vegetables, and salads as I want, and limit my sandwiches at lunch to whole grain bread with lean meats, like chicken, fish, or Boka/Morning Star (soy) burgers, and the same type of meat entree at night for dinner on top of a pile of steamed veggies, and Olive Oil. Yeah lots of olive oil. (Not to excess though) My sandwiches, and dinner's meats/steamed veggies always enjoy piles of sautéed onions, bell pepper, etc. to put on top of them. You could say that it is not a fast, but rather a feast. One of the key ingredients is I have all the fruit I want. At night time if I get hungry, I will eat a whole small jar of natural apple sauce. No sugar added. Oh, and I drink plenty of water. Eight glasses a day? Probably, I don't measure; I just walk around with a large plastic mug, filled with water, and sip all day long.So what does all of this have to do with the IZZE sparkling apple? Namely this. It is a special treat.I would not call it diet food, because in order for fruit to be dietetic, it must be in its natural state. It can be cut into chunks, and fresh frozen, and blended into smoothies, which is my preferred method; eliminates spoilage, and adds to the fun. But you have to avoid concentrating it, thereby increasing the sugar content. In this case, it is from concentrate, but then they add sparkling water. So it is kind of teetering on the fence. That is why I call it a special treat.So for those who may not agree with my dieting methods, or the fact that I easily drop 20 pounds in the spring, and have been doing it for well over 25 years, (Yes I have lost over 500 pounds in my lifetime) and are more interested in having a good time, let's talk about the Wow factor.This stuff tastes great. I quit drinking some 10 years ago, but this is an opportunity to live it up. Whenever I open a can of Izze, it is like a celebration. By the way, I am talking about the apple, and am curious about the other flavors as well. One thing is certain, I will be purchaing more of this when my current case runs out.When dieting, the big enemy is cane sugar, which is fattening. Fruit sugar in its natural state is immediately absorbed by the body, and does not convert to fat readily the way cane sugar does. (All I know is when I eat cane sugar I immediately gain weight, and when I eat all the fruit I want, I lose it)If you are looking to break the canned soda habit, Izze is the way to go. Canned soda has some ungodly amount of cane sugar in it.Another interesting factoid, according to Dr Weil M.D., the nutritional, and natural healing guru, the main benefit from drinking wine is not in the alcohol, but in the grapes. By getting Izze apple, the primary ingredient is grape juice, then apple, etc. So help your heart, or arteries, or whatever they espouse about the benefits of drinking wine, and get some Izze. I'm sold. Once you taste it, many will be too.I think the Izze people are really on to something here. Highly recommended.
