Question: What is the chocolate flavor?

Gevalia flavored coffees have been kind of hit & miss for me with all of them having a marvelous aroma but being little short on quality considering the price.  Not so this new Dark Chocolate Truffle flavor.  Attractively packaged in a dark purple and brown box suitable for gift-giving, this ground coffee brews up nicely in my drip maker and in my fancy French Press.  It's a little bit bitter as a black coffee but once you add some steamed milk and just a touch of sugar, you wind up with a superb Cafe Au Lait suitable for after-dinner dessert coffee or just for a special weekend brunch.  It fills the kitchen with its scent.  I could see this making a great base for an alcoholic dessert coffee by adding  some Kahlua & Cholcate curls atop the steamed milk.  My leftover drip-brewed coffee made a nice Ice-blended the next day.I'm not sure I would but this regularly due to Gevalia's price but I would definitely keep some on hand during the Holiday Season!  It has a nice, rich Chocolate flavor.  Overall, this was quite the pleasant surprise.

Question: How nice is the flavor?

I drink tea every day and I love green tea and all sorts of chinese tea and earl grey, etc.  I like ginger tea as well, but this one is strong.  I had stomachache after I drink 2 cups of it (with the same teabag).  I'll have to try it again but I am a little scared to.

Question: How is cookie?

I like these better than the Chips Ahoy Chewy Gooey Megafudge cookies.  There's still a slight aftetaste to these cookies, though.  Yes, the cookies are soft, but they really aren't as "gooey" as the name implies.  The packaging, with its resealeable flap, is a good idea.  It will keep the cookies fresher longer.  If you like Chips Ahoy cookies, you will likely enjoy these too.  For me, they were just okay.

Question: How is the tea?

I enjoy this blend of herbal tea.  Blackberry and vanilla make a good combination. I also like the fact that this tea is caffeine free. I can drink this any time day or night.  Yes, the tea bags looka little bit different than other tea bags, but they steep just fine and the tea tastes great.

Question: How is the flavor?

I'm not too sure about the product description of hints of having deep earthy flavors or having my mind invigorated as I'm not too much of a tea snob.  I do, however, like this tea and thought it had a good taste with no aftertaste like some teas, and unlike other teas with a ginger predominance the ginger didn't overwhelm me or leave a bad aftertaste.  A co-worker who is a tea snob said this one was very good and ordered a package for himself so that's a pretty good recommendation to me.

Question: Which flavor was there?

I've never tried pu'erh tea because I've heard that it has unique or pungent flavor that not everyone likes. Numi ginger flavored pu'erh surprised me! The flavor is very deep and earthy - very complex. I think it has a hint of smokey flavor that is almost wood-like. The ginger flavor compliments the earthy flavor of the tea and makes a very delicious combination. Unlike some other ginger teas I've tried, the ginger doesn't overpower the other flavors in this tea. I just finished a cup and I'm already craving another.  I'm planning to try Numi's other varieties of pu'erh tea. This was a nice experience.

Question: How is the quality of flavor?

If you like ginger then you will love this drink.  The aroma is amazing.  I think if I had a cold I would feel better just smelling this stuff.  It is very strong and I would make 2 cups from package rather than one.  I would give it 4 stars if it weren't for the heartburn.

Question: How tasty are cookies?

Okay, I got these cookies on Saturday and have already demolished half of the package.  That is, what wasn't already demolished when the cookies arrived, thanks mostly to the United States Postal Service, with some help from Amazon packaging.  (The cookies arrived in a huge box with air pillows that were supposed to shield the cookies but failed to keep the package from shifting all over the place while the box was in motion--and probably upside-down at times as well.  I think only six or seven cookies survived intact, the rest were in variously sized crumbs.)Now, biting into one of these cookies, you won't immediately think, "Gee, I can't tell if these are homemade or store-bought!"  You can definitely tell the difference.  That said, the cookies have a purity of flavor that's usually lacking in most store-bought treats.  They also have a distinct absence of any sort of metallic aftertaste or any other "off" flavor.  Probably because there's no multisyllabic ingredients or preservatives which are usually responsible for such "off" flavors.  These really are simply made, with ingredients any home baker would use to make chocolate chip cookies.The serving size is two cookies, giving you 140 calories and 7 grams of fat, 3 of that saturated fat.  Personally, I haven't exactly been following the serving size suggestion as it was far too easy to pick up a piece and then another piece and then a crumb or two and say, "That must be only half a cookie, surely!" thanks to the demolished state in which the cookies arrived.  However, no matter the size of the piece, the cookies have a pleasant crumbly texture, rather like a pecan sandie, but nothing too crispy or mouth-abrading.  They've also got a nice buttery flavor, with yummy chocolate-y goodness sprinkled throughout.All-in-all, I am rather loving these cookies and have a feeling I will be turning to them for my next cookie fix.  I'll also be looking into other Keebler products as a result.  I've never really paid attention to Keebler, or any of the other major snack food producers, because of my aversion to the multitude of chemical ingredients crammed into the foods they produced.  Now, though, that these big companies are wising up and cutting back on the "junk" they put in their junk food, I'll be more apt to occasionally buy a package whenever I'm jonesing for a snack food fix and don't feel up to baking it myself.

Question: How much is the flavor on this?

This is a very tasty and spicy beverage, which may not be your cup of tea, so to speak. The smell of ginger is strong when opening the pouch and the taste is rather strong and piquant. For many people not used to a strong ginger flavor, this may be off-putting and even unpleasant. If your idea of ginger stops at Canada Dry ginger ale, you will probably not like this product. I grew up with ginger in my foods, so I love this! The closest thing I can compare this to is IndonesianTing Ting Jehe Chewy Ginger Candy. This is basically a liquid version of the candy. Very sweet and spicy, it tickles the throat going down. I've juiced fresh ginger root (with other ingredients) and this tastes like the ginger-infused juice I've made. The pungency is not diminished during manufacturing.Served hot, it is perfect when you're sick. I often make ginger tea with honey when I'm under the weather, and this is a more convenient way of having a tasty hot beverage. Ginger and honey both have been used for thousands of years throughout the world for their health and medicinal benefits. The lemon flavor I couldn't detect however.

Question: How is the flavor?

Back to Nature delivered a really healthy cereal (and for me, snack food for late nights that won't keep me awake). A nice mix of berries (dehydrated) and crunchy, crunchy cereal that has a slight sweetness but none of the prefab who-knows-what of supermarket cereal.I grew up enough to know what is good for me but still appreciate a fun cereal and this is one of them.I will admit to adding fresh apples, banana and blueberries (just buy em and freeze em and add a few now and then) to my morning cereal blends. Summer Berry Blend is good "as is" without tinkering with other cereals to add zest.  Well done, Back to Nature! you hooked me!

Question: What is your favorite beer flavor?

I love raspberries and hot sauces, so my expectations were pretty high.  But the first taste was better than I expected.The lightly sweet raspberry taste is front and center, with a hint of smoky flavor and a touch of gentle heat.  The ingredient list is short and simple--the first three ingredients are sugar, red raspberries, and jalapeños.  There are no preservatives and no corn syrup, so this simple sauce lacks the added funky flavors and aftertastes that many other sauces have.The flavor of this sauce is so uncomplicated and good that I want to try other Fischer & Wieser sauces.  I've just subscribed to theirUltimate Sauce Gift Pack,a pack of six bottles including two bottles of Raspberry Chipotle.  I'm not a big fan of blueberry (ok, I admit I'm planning on giving that one away,) but the other sauces look promising. especially the Asian Apricot Stir Fry & Dipping Sauce.To try this sauce, I seasoned boneless pork ribs with rosemary and put them on the grill.  When they were done, I coated them with this sauce.  There was no need to cook the sauce, I just let it get to room temperature so it wouldn't cool the hot food.  The flavor was perfect with pork, but I can see that it will work well with chicken, and would be great on a salad, mixed with some rice wine vinegar or balsamic or cider vinegar.I've got to save what's left of this bottle, though, because friends will be visiting soon and I plan on drizzling this over cheese and crackers.  The included recipes suggest cream cheese, but I'll try it on brie and cheddar, too.4/5/09 UPDATE: I smothered a huge wedge of brie with this sauce and brought it to a party.  An hour later I wandered back into the room with the food, and I'd swear the platter had been licked clean.  Other foods were still available, so I know it wasn't desperation that drove people to polish this off.My only regret is that I didn't get a photo of the person doing the licking.  Oh well, better luck next weekend.

There are no preservatives and no corn syrup, so this simple sauce lacks the added funky flavors and aftertastes that many other sauces have.The flavor of this sauce is so uncomplicated and good that I want to try other Fischer & Wieser sauces. I've just subscribed to theirUltimate Sauce Gift Pack,a pack of six bottles including two bottles of Raspberry Chipotle. I'm not a big fan of blueberry (ok, I admit I'm planning on giving that one away,) but the other sauces look promising. especially the Asian Apricot Stir Fry & Dipping Sauce.To try this sauce, I seasoned boneless pork ribs with rosemary and put them on the grill. When they were done, I coated them with this sauce. There was no need to cook the sauce, I just let it get to room temperature so it wouldn't cool the hot food. The flavor was perfect with pork, but I can see that it will work well with chicken, and would be great on a salad, mixed with some rice wine vinegar or balsamic or cider vinegar.I've got to save what's left of this bottle, though, because friends will be visiting soon and I plan on drizzling this over cheese and crackers. The included recipes suggest cream cheese, but I'll try it on brie and cheddar, too.4/5/09 UPDATE: I smothered a huge wedge of brie with this sauce and brought it to a party. An hour later I wandered back into the room with the food, and I'd swear the platter had been licked clean. Other foods were still available, so I know it wasn't desperation that drove people to polish this off.My only regret is that I didn't get a photo of the person doing the licking. Oh well, better luck next weekend.

<hl> I love raspberries and hot sauces <hl> , so my expectations were pretty high.


Question: How is flavor?

If you've never heard of cashew juice join the club.  I like to try new things, but I really didn't think I would go crazy over this product.  I loved it (so did my wife) and hope I can find a good source for getting more at a decent price.  It is kind of hard to describe the taste, but it has a nice balance of sweet and tart.  It is very refreshing and apparently very nutritious.

Answer: sweet

Question: How is the price?

The taste is great.  The price is great.  I use an 18-count egg carton to store the pods, so they don't lose their flavor, as they do not have the plastic case you see in most pods.

Question: How is the oats?

This is the 3rd time I have purchased this product because I was very pleased with the taste and texture of the oatmeal. Just to make sure the price was good I shopped in 3 health food stores and the price was almost double. I keep it in the freezer and it keeps until I order again.

Question: How a product is high?

I've tried to write this review three times now, and every time I get a power blip or something happens to the browser and I lose it.  One more time.I made this carefully, and it is not tasty.  It has a big packet of spices that has a lot of whey, onion, and cheese and spices like black pepper are lower than an ingredient that is listed as "not more than 2%.I've eaten tasty mac and cheese, and I've even eaten decent hamburger helper, likeHamburger Helper, Cheesy Nacho, 7.9-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6).  That stuff is cheaper and tastes better.This stuff is easy to make.  You brown one pound of beef (I weighed it to be sure I was following directions) and then drain it (pouring out the tasty juices, I won't do that again), then add the misnamed seasoning packet and the pasta, along with two cups of water.Bring it to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 11-13 minutes.Then remove from the heat and mix in the velveeta packet.They suggest that you add lettuce?  Or chopped tomatoes, so I added Ro-Tel to part of it - the other part I kept pristine so that I could taste it as made.  I used hot Ro-Tel, and, other than the flavor of the Ro-Tel it was bland.  I have to think that the pasta is sort of bland and the spicing in the packet is lacking.  It could have some more onion flavor, or more than 0.5% garlic or something.The value in this is what I believe to be parboiled pasta that can be cooked in this fashion.The net weight of this stuff is 12.8 ounces - with a pound of beef, it makes 5 one cup servings.  My wife guesses that it serves three adults, or six-eight toddlers (if you were making lunch for a day care, say).Now, this is my suggestion:Suppose you buy a piece of velveeta in the store, some cream, some beef, and a little garlic powder, some onion powder, and some pasta.Cook a quarter pound of pasta in one pan, boiling and draining normally, and then brown a pound or two of beef with a bunch of onion and garlic powder, to taste.  In a third pan (or in the one you boiled the pasta in), grate or cube about a pound of Velveeta and heat it gently with a 2 tbsp of butter, stirring frequently until melted, then add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup cream a little at a time while stirring. Add a little white pepper and 1/8 tsp nutmeg, if you like it. Or use sour cream instead of whole cream, or put a little beef broth into the beef after it has browned.Now combine the cheese sauce, the pasta (use more or less to taste, the beef (please don't drain it unless you are on a low fat diet, and then do so carefully - if you have one of those old fat brushes, use that, try to save the juices).  Then add a whole can of Ro-Tel, to your family's taste, hot, mild, lime-chili, whatever.  Taste it - and if it is bland, fix it.Dust the top with paprika before serving it.This dish will taste good, and it won't take you much longer to make it than it would to start with this mix.  And if it is bland, you have only yourself to blame.  You can put more or less salt, pepper, herbs, and whatever - you don't need to use a mix to make a cheese/macaroni/beef dish.  This stuff really isn't that hard.Now, there is nothing wrong with Velveeta.  It melts nicely, it makes a great cheese sauce.  It usually has some flavor.  And there is nothing wrong with this stuff except that it is just tasteless, and almost anyone can do better.  Seriously, YOU can do better than this bland product.  If you like Velveeta, use it. If you don't like Velveeta, well, making it yourself allows you to make your cheese sauce from a different type of cheese.  Mexican melting cheese is good.  Heck, Sargento six cheese is great.If you don't want to do it yourself, save money and buy Hamburger Helper.I can't rate this less than 3 stars, far as I can tell, it is wholesome and it doesn't actively taste bad. It doesn't actively taste of much at all.  So it gets three stars, and a suggestion that you can do so much better by doing it yourself that you should try.If I had some of this stuff I had to use, I'd:Add a half tsp of white pepper, a half tsp of paprika, garlic powder to taste and onion powder to taste.  I might consider a knorr garlic cube.  Or Chipotle.  I would always add the Ro-Tel, this is the biggest fix you can make to this stuff. Paprika to dust the top before serving.  And, well, beef broth instead of water - that "seasoning" is really, really bland. A dollop of sour cream when you put the cheese sauce in, and a tablespoon of butter.Because as shipped, it is horribly bland.

Question: What is the quality of the food?

OILS: Rancid is a process of mother nature and has nothing to do with organic, conventional, GMO or the type of seed since rancid has to do with oil. It is not important if the oil or the tablet is even frozen at the time of production till you consume since any seed, and I mean any type of seed regardless of the brand will go rancid once ground and cracked open since the shell, the protection is removed which will allow air and moisture access the oil of the seed much quicker than when the seed is in a complete un-hulled form. The best example of rancidity is brown rice. Place some brown rice in freezer and you will notice in few months it will not even cook since the oils have gone rancid even if it was kept in a sealed container in the freezer regardless. Chia is the only seed that does not need to be ground in order for human body to digest and get the nutrients and can be stored for longer time than any other seed without going rancid. Sesame seed, flax seed, etc. are so dense that will pass through human body when not ground making it absolutely worthless since human body can not digest it in its natural form.FIBER: Fiber is essential for body since fiber absorbs the unwanted liquid in the gut and body has to defecate that blown up fiber which in return lowers cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, etc. and brings comfort and efficiency to human body unlike fat which stays in human body unless needed for energy. Flax is high in fiber.MINERALS: Flax is one of the kings of nutrients when it comes to minerals and so important to me as a whole delicious seed; highest ALA, high magnesium, high potassium, calcium with the healthiest fat.Accordingly for 100gr servings size of;SESAME__FLAX__CHIA__AMARANTH__QUINOA__HEMP__PISTACHIO__ALMOND__CASHEW__PEANUTCALORIES565__534__490__371__368__567__557__575__553__585SAT FAT34__18__16__7__4__17__27__19__39__34CALCIUM99__26__63__16__5__0__11__26__4__5MAGNESIUM89__98__0__62__49__167__30__67__73__44POTASSIUM14__23__5__15__16__167__29__20__19__19ZINC48__29__23__19__21__83__15__21__39__22FIBER47__109__151__8__11__4 __41__49__13__32PHYTOSTEROLS714__0__0__0__0__N/A__214__0__0__0FRESHNESS: Fresh means nutritious and delicious. I consume lots of seeds, beans, grains, vegetables, etc. and freshness is a priority regardless of the brand so I always purchase my food ingredients in small quantities from reputable sellers with high turnover. When fresh, food is nutritious and that goes for any food in any form, from frozen to canned. Fresh food is nutritious as well as delicious since nutrients give food its delicious taste. When old or rancid, nutrients are gone and any food item becomes an empty calories with no taste and absolutely worthless regardless of the brand or price, organic or conventional. For few years I consumed seeds in oil form since physicians advised me to do so not knowing that majority are not aware that seeds hardly offer any nutrients unless; seeds are fresh, not old which means rancid, not in oil form, not in supplement form, not hulled, ground and consumed within few days, kept in dark cold temperatures, away from light-sun-moisture since the oil in seeds and nuts go rancid regardless. That is why brown rice which has its nutrients will go rancid even if kept in freezer while white rice will last for years at room temperature since it hardly has any nutrients or oil. I ground in my coffee grinder sesame, flax, chia, amaranth, hemp then add cocoa, isolate protein, soy milk and consume it before my workouts on daily basis for its vitamins, minerals, protein and many nutrients, without much spike in my glucose. Un-hulled seeds are full of nutrients. I never consume hulled seeds which are empty calories, absolutely worthless since the nutrients have been removed.OMEGA-3: You will never see ALA on any fish you purchase. Infact you will never see ALA on any fish oil supplement either, you will only see EPA and DHA. ALA is not the same as EPA or DHA. That is true for any brand of flaxseed regardless if such flaxseed oil is in solid form, oil form in a bottle or in a capsule form. Greens, veges, nuts, seeds and fruits do not offer any Omega-3 in form of EPA/DHA since omega-3 EPA/DHA is an animal source. There are two major types of omega-3 fatty acids in our diets: One type is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in plants the other type, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is found in fatty fish. The body partially converts ALA to EPA and DHA. There is no proof what percent of ALA gets converted by human body to EPA or DHA. You can consume all ALAs that you want and depending to your genes it may never turn any into omega-3. Blood test is the only way to see the affects. I get omega 3 from sardines although flaxseed is an important part of my diet since flaxseed offers so many nutrients. Flaxseed offers more ALA than chia for $1.99 a pound not $15 a pound, 22.8gr vs. 17.8gr.

When fresh, food is nutritious and that goes for any food in any form, from frozen to canned. Fresh food is nutritious as well as delicious since nutrients give food its delicious taste. When old or rancid, nutrients are gone and any food item becomes an empty calories with no taste and absolutely worthless regardless of the brand or price, organic or conventional. For few years I consumed seeds in oil form since physicians advised me to do so not knowing that majority are not aware that seeds hardly offer any nutrients unless; seeds are fresh, not old which means rancid, not in oil form, not in supplement form, not hulled, ground and consumed within few days, kept in dark cold temperatures, away from light-sun-moisture since the oil in seeds and nuts go rancid regardless. That is why brown rice which has its nutrients will go rancid even if kept in freezer while white rice will last for years at room temperature since it hardly has any nutrients or oil. I ground in my coffee grinder sesame, flax, chia, amaranth, hemp then add cocoa, isolate protein, soy milk and consume it before my workouts on daily basis for its vitamins, minerals, protein and many nutrients, without much spike in my glucose. Un-hulled seeds are full of nutrients. I never consume hulled seeds which are empty calories, absolutely worthless since the nutrients have been removed.OMEGA-3: You will never see ALA on any fish you purchase. Infact you will never see ALA on any fish oil supplement either, you will only see EPA and DHA. ALA is not the same as EPA or DHA. That is true for any brand of flaxseed regardless if such flaxseed oil is in solid form, oil form in a bottle or in a capsule form. Greens, veges, nuts, seeds and fruits do not offer any Omega-3 in form of EPA/DHA since omega-3 EPA/DHA is an animal source. There are two major types of omega-3 fatty acids in our diets: One type is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in plants the other type, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is found in fatty fish. The body partially converts ALA to EPA and DHA. There is no proof what percent of ALA gets converted by human body to EPA or DHA. You can consume all ALAs that you want and depending to your genes it may never turn any into omega-3. Blood test is the only way to see the affects. I get omega 3 from sardines although flaxseed is an important part of my diet since flaxseed offers so many nutrients. Flaxseed offers more ALA than chia for $1.99 a pound not $15 a pound, 22.8gr vs. 17.8gr.

Rancid is a process of mother nature and has nothing to do with <hl> organic, conventional <hl> , GMO or the type of seed since rancid has to do with oil.


Question: What is the flavor?

There isn't much more to say than what has already been said by other reviewers. It is firm but not hard, so you actually have something to chew on and the taste is amazing.My only complaint is the price.

Question: How do you rate the flavor?

Taste? Ok. The strawberry and banana flavors weren't bad, but there is an acidic bite to the drink as well. Tastes like Red Bull mixed up with Hawaiian Punch.Healthy? Naw. 20 grams of sugar. All natural ingredients . . . but I doubt it is any healthier than your average soda.Energy? Yep. Same caffeine as a cup of coffee.Overall: If you want to wake up in the morning without drinking coffee or Diet Coke, this could be your drink of choice. The flavor is not great, but its comparable with the other energy drinks out there and you will get your caffeine fix.

Question: How is the flavor?

This is a nice tasting tea with really strange looking tea bags. It has a nice berry flavor and is less tart than some berry teas I have tasted. I do wish the box sealed better.The tea has a strong sweet berry flavor. I tend to stay away from some berry teas because the flavor can almost be tart tasting. Perhaps because of the vanilla the berry flavor is on the sweet side.The pyramid tea bags look strange.  Aside from the shape the tea bags are made of a material that looks different from most tea bags. These tea bags are made of a mesh like substance.  I looks like it allows the tea to flavor flow more easily out of the tea bag.I do wish the box would seal better once opened.  The tea bas are not individually wrapped in any sort of covering. The box does not have any inner wrapping to use as a seal. Once opened the only way to seal the box is close the cover and there does not seem to be any mechanism to keep the cover closed. I use a piece of tape to keep the box closed.This is a nice tasting sweet berry tea with uniquely shaped tea bags with a box that needs a better seal.

Question: How pleasing is the aroma?

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this tea. I enjoy ginger but it's one of those flavors that can easily be overdone and become overpowering - fortunately that was not the case here.This tea has a very earthy aroma with ginger undertones and what I recognized as a bit of almost a wine scent. I found the aroma to be very complex and pleasant.If you like a bold tea, the flavor here will not disappoint. This tea has a strong earthy taste with a touch of ginger bite. Again, I was concerned that the ginger would be too much but it's just right in this tea. I found the tea to have a lingering earthy aftertaste as well.Overall I'm impressed with this tea. I enjoy earl grey, English breakfast and Irish breakfast teas and found this tea to be on a similar plane as those. I've made this tea both plain and with cream and sugar and it is delicious both ways. The strong, bold flavor may not be for everyone but I personally really enjoy it. If you like the above breakfast blends and enjoy bold flavors I highly recommend this tea.

Question: What do you think about content?

At just 50 calories in a 6.8 ounce can, it seems almost impossible that the drink should be this good. At once slightly sweet with the bitter tinge of a good cup of coffee, illy issimo rivals the Starbucks' espresso shots for quality quick canned coffee drinks. Aftertaste is minimal is the drink has a good color and consistency (not too watery and not too syrupy).

Question: How many flavors of ice cream do you have?

This is my first time trying PURE fruit and nut bar.  I don't know what I was expecting, maybe the taste of a regular trail mix bar.  It's hard to describe what the PURE bar (blueberry flavor) tastes like, but it's not an unpleasant flavor.  The fruity flavor is obvious, and the nuts do not overwhelm the tastebuds.  I like that the bar is soft and chewy, and not too sweet.  Also, it's made out of all natural and organic ingredients, with nothing processed.  That to me is worth having a bar that doesn't have the conventional taste of other energy bars.  The taste is not bad, but it's not delicious either.  However, the bar is filling and doesn't make you feel guilty about eating it, because the ingredients are so healthy.I would recommend these bars as snacks, but they do have plenty of calories, so I wouldn't eat too many of them at once.  But that's true of any kind of snack.

Question: Why do I have an amazing tea?

Numi Organic Pu-Erh Ginger Tea has a very mild ginger flavor, but the more you sip the tea, the more the flavor builds. It tried it first without sweetening, and the taste was not bitter. I then added a spoon of sugar, my normal way to drink hot tea, and the taste was very pleasant. However, with my second cup, I added honey and lemon juice, and then the tea became delightful and soothing. Very relaxing and comforting after a hard day at work. I drink coffee and tea every day, and I look forward to finding new varieties to enjoy. Numi Tea has an admirable mission statement: "Numi inspires well-being of mind, body and spirit through the simple art of tea. Our company is rooted in the principle of creating a healthful product that nurtures people and honors the planet. With all of our company initiatives, we strive to foster a healthy, thriving global community while bringing you the purest, best-tasting organic tea." The tea is certified organic, claims many health benefits, the tea bags are biodegradable, and the boxes are made with recycled materials. The Ginger Tea is a pleasant cuppa, and I will definitely try other varieties of Numi Tea.

Question: What kind of oatmeal is it?

These cookies are soft and chewy just like you'd expect from Chips Ahoy, but they also contain gooey fudge inside.  They are definitely yummy and not too chocolatey, but I will say I expected more "gooey" from them and really inside the fudge is thicker and not really gooey at all.  Overall though they definitely satisfied my chocolate craving and I love that they were so soft.

Question: How is the price of the product?

Okay, I can't really speak to Essentia's claims regarding its 9.5pH balanced water. I just know that it's refreshing and tastes (if water has a taste) pure and satisfying. No off flavors or odors. I know that it has some additives to bring the pH to 9.5, but I can't detect them. One of these large 1.5 liter bottles lasts me all day.If Essentia's claims are accurate and it does help with things like maintaining normal blood pressure, restful sleep, heart health, muscle strength and boosting the antioxidant properties of your immune system, then so much the better. It does seem to hydrate well and absorb into my system faster than regular filtered or spring water. I also get occasional heartburn after certain meals and find that its more basic pH helps alleviate such symptoms without me having to take antacids.Essentia does cost a bit more so I will reserve getting it for when I find it on sale or can get a bulk discount. Aside from the price, I have to say it is my new favorite 'brand' of water. I like the taste and find it thirst quenching. Any added health benefits are a bonus.~ Kort

Question: Why do I have a chocolate flavor nice?

BACK TO NATURE'S CHOCOLATE DELIGHT GRANOLA tastes really good and has the perfect blend of crunchy and sweet that makes this a tasty snack, either as a cereal or right out of the bag.It's made from natural ingredients and doesn't contain artificial flavors, preservatives, hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup.But here's the rub... the BACK TO NATURE CHOCOLATE GRANOLA, like all granola, is high in fat. Some of it is the good fat, Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated, but it does contain 6g of total fat--2g of that Saturated Fat. It also packs 220 calories per 1/2 cup serving, which is about 2 1/2 handfuls, and it's very easy to keep eating it.Since opening the bag, I've probably eaten three servings already, because it's that good, but that can't be good for my waist!OK, I shouldn't be that harsh and deduct 1-star from BACK TO NATURE... for my own lack of will power, but many customers will see the words "nature" and "whole grain" and think "healthy treat." The small serving size of the granola is also deceptive because many will think "this is such a tiny amount that I'll just eat a little more" because it really does seem like you're eating a small amount, but then next thing you know you can't zip up your jeans.On the plus side, that means that the product is delicious but just be aware of serving size and portions. Otherwise, it's a good alternative to say a 180-calorie cookie that's full of high fructose corn syrup and sugar and no fiber.
