Question: How was the spice?

I tried the sister product, theTaco Bell Jalapeno Saucein August, and wrote a review for it.  Overall, this is a slightly better product, with better color and a better taste making the small difference.As with the jalapeno sauce, this product appears to be trying to cover too many bases.  It's "sauce," which means it could go into anything, in cooking or in serving, so it seems to be landing as both a cooking ingredient and as a table condiment.  And it could go on anything from your breakfast eggs to your mac `n cheez for dinner, which makes it a table condiment for breakfast, lunch, dinner, any time.  And its "bold," the American euphemism for something that's not really spicy, is marginally beyond the typical bland and boring that most Americans rely upon.  It's got the tiniest tinge of spice, but isn't powerful in the least; the taste of this product does not qualify as "bold."  Now, the taste ofCheez-It Hot & Spicy; they got "bold" with that one.The bottle's copy says the same as the jalapeno sauce, that it's perfect with "tacos, Mexican salads and sandwich wraps."  In our house it went on pork roast, couscous, green beans, Brussels sprouts, meatloaf, and french fries.  My kids (13 and 15) both liked the sauce and declared it was definitely better than the jalapeno sauce.The basis of this sauce is a mayo/buttermilk dressing-type mixture.  I don't know, but it strikes me that all of the Taco Bell sauces start with the same plain base, and the respective flavors are just dumped in at the factory.  The sauce is not chunky in the slightest, and squeezes right out of the bottle.The pluses in this product are the color and taste.  Where the jalapeno sauce faltered because of an unappetizing color of mayonnaise-off-white with mysterious green flecks, this one's smoky-creamy orange color is far more appealing.  It looks better in the packaging, and it looks much better on the plate and on the food.  The taste also is better. Jalapeno is a very distinctive taste, and those who know it and seek it out want that hard burst of powerful, earthy jalapeno punch, the chipotle taste is one that is more subtle, not nearly as strong, and as such works much better in this sauce.  The taste of this product is slightly smoky, with a good tang--not bold, mind you, and not even close to spicy.The sauce is just a bit too runny, though.  Yeah, it's in a squeeze bottle and it's got to have the right consistency to actually flow out of the packaging, but at the same time, it's a bit too runny when it gets on the plate.  Taco Bell needs to thicken it up just a little bit more to get it to the right consistency.This sauce is not bad; it does not taste bad.  It just doesn't deliver on what I'm looking for when it comes to spicy.  If I were starving on a desert island, I'd slurp this stuff out of the bottle and call it the Food of the Gods.Bottom line: "Creamy" this sauce is, but "bold" it is not.  Our family knows hot and spicy, and a lame American "bold" doesn't cut it for us.  If we want Scoville-graded heat with our food, we'll go for theSriracha,Crystal,Cholula, etc.  If we want creamy, we'll go for the all-American ranch dressing or straight-up mayo, and we'll leave this product on the shelf.

Question: How is the product?

These are diced-dried organic apples with a dash of cinnamon; they are tasty and have a nice crunchy flavor. I especially like the cinnamon flavor, but as other reviewers have noted, this is a little hard to bite. I also find that the serving size is small and the product is a little pricey. I would rather eat some sort of fruity cereals or dried fruits from the local grocery or drug stores.1.Love Grown Foods Oat Clusters and Love, Apple Walnut Delight, 12-Ounce (Pack of 3)2.Leila Bay Trading Company Apple Cinnamon Granola 6 Pack [Misc.]

Question: Which flavor was there?

I really enjoy the flavor of ginger, so I was really hoping that the ginger flavor would be prominent in this tea. The Pu'erh tea has a pleasant taste, but the ginger is not as strong as I would have liked. I recently tried theCardamom Pu'erh Tea Bags, 16-Counttea and I honestly like it better than the ginger version.Pu'erh tea is supposed to have some great health benefits (aids in digestion, weight management, and energy). I can't say that I've noticed a big difference in those areas, but if nothing else, it's an enjoyable cup of tea - just be aware that Pu'erh does have a rather distinct flavor compared to other teas.

Question: How is the flavor?

These cookies are made with recognizable ingredients.  I really enjoyed the taste and flavor. I found the cookies to be light but just slightly on the dry side but it wasn't enough to make me not want to eat them.  I think these are a great alternative to all the fake foods out there and would choose these over other alternatives.  Two cookies have 140 calories, and saturated fat is 15%.  The product description fails to mention that these may contain peanut and tree nuts, so if you have nut allergies you should avoid these.

Question: How tangy is the flavor?

This product is very good.  The connection with Taco Bell adds a familiarity.  The packaging is excellent as is the color of the product.  The color and the taste are consistent, which is good.  The flavor is very balanced in body, mouth feel, acidity and spiciness.  It has a genuine peppery flavor with just enough temperature but not too hot.  The only thing that needs to be changed is that it is way too salty.  I added a little to way under seasoned food and it was just right.  Otherwise, adding it to food of normal degree of seasoning would be too salty.  It is a shame because the taste is so good.  You want to use a fair amount but that would make the food too salty.  Less salt will let the nice flavors come off better.  Salt helps to bring up flavor except if there is too much.  Then it obscures and overpowers the intrinsic flavor of the product itself and ultimately the dish that it is being added to.

Question: How is the  flavor of each is pretty?

I'm not much for flavored coffees but wanted to give this a shot.  I actually had to go higher than the recommended 4 teaspoons to 8 ounces of water because the flavor was just simply too weak.  Adding another couple teaspoons had it in the wheelhouse of the typically stronger coffee I like to drink.  The flavor is pleasant and not overly sweet, and the peppermint flavor is obvious but not as strong as I expected- a good thing, in my view.  Overall, it's a fine drink, but because I am a black coffee drinker, it's not for me.  Recommended for those who like sugar or creamer in their coffee, and who are looking for something Christmasy to drink for the holiday/winter season.

Question: What is the flavor of the roses?

I bought a multi-box of flavors but this was the absolute best flavor (IMHO) in there so it's the one I'll comment on.  Spicy, sweet, flavorful, fun, crispy, lower fat than chips, I loved it.  I'll be buying more but only of this flavor.  The other flavors weren't so great (salt & pepper and cheddar aren't too bad) but this one rocked.

Question: Is it a good cookie?

Very taste little cookies with rich chocolate fudge.  The cookies were fresh and delicious.  When trying to look for a cheaper brand, the cookies tend to taste greasy but these Keebler mini cookies didn't have that greasy feeling.  They don't have high fructose corn syrup or trans fats, both a plus.  A container is good for 2-3 people as a snack.  Like with any other food item, I recommend reading the ingredients list and the nutritional value before purchasing.

Question: Does the chips a good cooking point?

These Honey Dijon chips bring a terrific balance of salty, tangy, sweet and crunchy. Other brands I've tried use too much mustard flavor, which overpowers the Honey Dijon pairing.These chips make a great side dish on a BBQ plate with baked beans, coleslaw or potato salad and grilled meat. Naturally, they also go down great with beer.As an Oregonian, I'm proud to share these delectable snacks with friends, especially those living outside our state and who haven't experienced gourmet chips. I tell them Kettle Brand does for potato chips what microbrews did for beer.Kettle Brand potato chips are unmistakable--a light gold color, rich flavor and amazing crunch. Kettle Brand chips are also a healthier snacking option than the major chip brands. Kettle Brand chips don't have trans fats, MSG or artificial flavors and colorings. The company also has a line of organic potato chips and all of their products are certified Kosher.I also recommend these other Kettle Chips flavors:Kettle Chips Sea Salt & VinegarandKettle Chips Spicy Thai.Annette Solomon, a reporter for the Salem Statesman Journal recently noted that a glass of wine goes nicely with these chips. Solomon wrote, "...you could be missing out on a wonderful pairing. These chips are spicy, so you would want to select a semi-sweet white wine. Also, a moderate amount of acid will subdue the strong flavors of ginger, lime, garlic and cilantro without over-powering them. Classically, a German-style Riesling fits these parameters perfectly."

Question: How would you rate the flavor of the salad?

The Numi packaging and advertising is a little over the top, but that shouldn't take away from the tea. Pu'erh tea goes through a 60 day fermentation process, so it's not going to be a flowery fluffy desserty type of a tea.There are hints of cardamom in this, but just like theGinger Pu'erh Tea Bags, 16-CountI have a hard time finding spiciness in the flavor.The package contains 16 individually sealed non-GMO biodegradable tea bags. The outside container has a perforated area at the bottom, so if you gently press through the part on the front of the packaging, you get a nice re-closeable box for the tea bags. The package includes an expiration ("Best Before End") date.The inside flap includes a recipe. This one is for a jelly, the Ginger for iced tea. I opened the box using the perforation so I didn't even realize there was a recipe in the inside flap. A quarter-size sticky keeps the flap attached to the main box, so you don't even have to open it that way unless you want the recipe.Every tea bag has a small indentation, a hint as to where to tear it open. Each bag includes brewing instructions (3 to 5 minutes). But I was disappointed that each tea bag is attached to its string with a small staple. I am sure there are better ways of doing this without the need for staples!Being stingy, I can get two 8oz cups of tea from each tea bag. Obviously the first one is stronger but because this is a strong and dark tea, the second cup still looks dark. I steep the first time for 3 minutes (using a timer). Given its strength, this is good as iced tea as well.The package says that it has higher caffeine but it doesn't provide a number. I usually get a caffeine kick from coffee, but I did not get a kick from this one. Caffeine-wise, it felt like green tea. Some people claim that tea caffeine is slower to enter the bloodstream than coffee caffeine, and tea typically has less caffeine than coffee. This certainly explains my reaction to it but caffeine reaction varies, so it's hard to tell how it will affect others.

I opened the box using the perforation so I didn't even realize there was a recipe in the inside flap. A quarter-size sticky keeps the flap attached to the main box, so you don't even have to open it that way unless you want the recipe.Every tea bag has a small indentation, a hint as to where to tear it open. Each bag includes brewing instructions (3 to 5 minutes). But I was disappointed that each tea bag is attached to its string with a small staple. I am sure there are better ways of doing this without the need for staples!Being stingy, I can get two 8oz cups of tea from each tea bag. Obviously the first one is stronger but because this is a strong and dark tea, the second cup still looks dark. I steep the first time for 3 minutes (using a timer). Given its strength, this is good as iced tea as well.The package says that it has higher caffeine but it doesn't provide a number. I usually get a caffeine kick from coffee, but I did not get a kick from this one. Caffeine-wise, it felt like green tea. Some people claim that tea caffeine is slower to enter the bloodstream than coffee caffeine, and tea typically has less caffeine than coffee. This certainly explains my reaction to it but caffeine reaction varies, so it's hard to tell how it will affect others.

There are hints of cardamom in this, but just like theGinger Pu'erh Tea Bags, <hl> 16-CountI have a hard time finding spiciness in the flavor <hl> .The package contains 16 individually sealed non-GMO biodegradable tea bags.


Question: How is the product?

Viva Labs' coconut oil was my first venture into cooking with coconut oil.  It comes cold-pressed and has the consistency of hardened shortening. But, that is where the loose resemblance to shortening ends.  Viva Labs' coconut oil smells great, tastes great, and adds a hint of coconut/sweetness to whatever I cook.  I have also eaten teaspoons right out of the container & the coconut oil has a pure coconut flavor - a light flavor that is quite pleasing.Overall, the coconut oil does not leave my food greasy & the added, subtle flavor addition really enhances some of the meals that I cook - I've used this coconut oil with chicken, popcorn & oatmeal cookies.  Everything was quite tasty.I am almost finished with my container & coconut oil will stay on my shopping list now that I've discovered bow much I like it.**Disclaimer**Viva Labs sent me their product for review purposes. The review is my own opinion & Viva Labs did not request/require a positive review.

Question: What is the most pleasant tea you have tried?

"Sitting on the porch of a bungalow on a tea plantation in Darjeeling, you can see the peaks of Everest and Kanchenjunga as you sip a cup of this exquisite brew. Life is good." ~tea packetIf you want a subtle tea with a smooth, soothing flavor, then Darjeeling is an excellent choice. The slightly floral flavor is much milder than an Earl Grey. I especially love this blend when eating a Caramel Apple Cobbler Clif Bar. For some reason, the flavors mingle nicely.While many of the Tazo teas are blends of a variety of teas, this tea is purely a blend of Organic Black Darjeeling teas. The tea is grown near India's border with Bhutan. There are only "true Darjeeling" tea leaves in this tea.This tea is just perfect when blended with an Organic Sucanat: Natural Sugar Cane. You might also want to try using "milk powder" instead of cold milk with your tea. I find it helps to keep the tea strength and adds a creamy element to the smoothness of this tea.Darjeeling is a very satisfying blend for morning tea. You might also enjoy AWAKE and Earl Grey if you enjoy this tea.I just love the packaging of the Tazo Teas. The individual wrappings have a nice crinkly sound and the colors are all so soothing and quite beautiful. These teas are definitely for the aesthetically aware. Drinking Tazo teas literally becomes a magical experience. There is something mysterious going on here. The teas even seem to have a magical glint or luster to them. When you drink Tazo teas the world looks more beautiful and you feel much more aware of life itself. I find that my creativity soars after drinking Tazo teas.For more information on the mysteries of Tazo Tea, read the review for the Tazo Assorted Teas.For a calming experience try the Tazo Calm Herbal Infusion which is perfect for quiet evenings, after completing a yoga workout or just to sip on while you write in your journal.~The Rebecca Review

Question: What is the quality of flavor?

This tea is really different. I taste chocolate if I think about it, don't notice the orange, cinnamon or vanilla at all and find the nutmeg to be the strongest flavor. Take the word "strongest" with a grain of salt....I found this tea to be very watery with little body. Perhaps I added too much water - I used about 8 ounces. I even just left the bag in the mug, hoping that if it steeped longer the flavors would intensify. No luck. Even my favorite tea, Stash White Christmas, which is made with white tea, has more body than this. I can make that in my 12 ounce mug and still have a good cup of tea. I don't see myself ever reordering this tea; it's just too strange a flavor and too weak for my taste. 2 stars.After further review I've found that just 2 drops of stevia made a difference in the flavor; made it more palatable. I also gave the teabag a good squeeze and that helped slightly. I raise my rating to 2.5 stars, rounded to 3.

Question: How light  is the cookie?

First I was pleased that the cookies arrived not only fresh but I good order; nothing broken. The cookie advertise all natural and they are good. It taste like a shortbread cookie with chocolate chips in it. These would not be my first choice but I would consider buying them if my first choice was out of stock. Enjoyable.

Question: What flavor does it have?

Chip's Ahoy Chewy Gooey Megafudge cookies are the latest addition to the family of Chip's Ahoy cookies.  The picture on the front shows a soft cookie gently being split in two with gooey chocolate oozing out.  Random chocolate chips, both dark and white are scattered about.  Should be chocolicious.The cookies aren't bad.  There was no discernible liquid goo in the center, but more of a sensation of slightly underbaked cookie.  The texture is OK, it definitely is a very strong chocolately flavor, and overall will satisfy the need for a chocolate cookie.  If you have no other options.Generally, a homemade cookie will beat out a packaged cookie every time.  So, lets just compare this cookie to other packaged cookies.  Nothing holds a candle to Oreo's because they are in a class all by themselves.  Compared to the rest of the cookies out there, these are pretty good (note 3 star rating).They are packaged in an extremely noisy resealable package, ostensibly to keep them fresh.  You won't be sneaking anything out of this package, in fact, don't go looking for one in the middle of the night because you'll wake up your whole household, and possibly your neighbors.  The reseal option is nice, keeps them safely contained and might add to the freshness.  With the number of preservatives listed on the label, not sure if freshness will be an issue.Overall, not bad, not great.  Kids will love them.

Question: Is the flavor of honey natural honey?

Well, I like a bit of heat.  I live in Arizona and I grow my own peppers.  Keep that in mind.  I like this stuff.  I used it as a sauce on chicken.  It has a wonderful flavor.  Now, if you think a bottle of Tabasco is a lifetime supply, pass on this, but if you don't mind a little heat, give it a try.

Question: What is your favorite flavor?

Based on my previous great experience with Newman's Own products, I got the Pomegranate Licorice.  Opening the package treats you to a wonderful aroma.  The licorice itself has a beautiful rich color and is made from cane sugar and tastes like real licorice unlike some which are more waxy and tough and lacking authentic flavor.  This is tender and tasty and a real treat.  The package is just the right size for a snack.  Glad I got them!  Now excuse me I need to get back to chomping licorice.

Question: What food had more flavor?

There is very little tea taste, you can taste a fruity flavor and a little honey BUT it does contain sucralose which is NOT natural. I would think this is false advertising if you claim a product is all natural and has ingredients that are not natural??? It is overly sweet and really doesn't taste natural to me.so this is a Warning that this product contains sucralose (splenda)I had thought it would only be sweetened with honey because that is the only sweetener mentioned in the description.

Question: How is the aroma?

As a consumer I make a point at eating quality food and care about what I put in my body. I search out organic and I am willing to pay the price for it.I am an avid buyer of Newman's Own products, and like their other products. The pomegranate was high quality and tasty.Compared to the major brand licorice, Newman's own pomegranate has 10g of sugar and 2g of protein compared to 18g and 1.3g respectively. The first ingredient in Newman's own is Organic Wheat Flour while the other licorice is corn syrup.The taste of the Pomegranate licorice is strong and sweet. The Elderberry added is more pronounced than the pomegranate. Non-organic corn syrup is in the product(third ingredient).I can taste the quality in the product and recommend it.

Question: How much was the content of seeds and nuts?

First, in the interest of full disclosure, even though I love them raw, I'm not a huge fan of cooked or processed apples. I requested this from Vine because I like the idea of a health, organic crunchy snack. This does indeed meet that specification. It is made from only four organic ingredients: apples, apple juice, potato starch and cinnamon. It has no added sugars, fats, sodium or preservative. It's also relatively low in calories, coming in at 60 calories per serving, or 240 calories per 2.1 oz bag.My take on this is that if I am in the mood to snack and can't find anything else, this is better than nothing. It's not terrible, but it's not great, either.I didn't think it was as hard as some other reviewers. The overall size and texture is similar to a cluster in a cluster cereal, like Honey Bunches of Oats. The dried apples have a texture similar to puffed wheat, which I thought was kind of odd. It's not very sweet, something else I thought was odd. Dried apples are usually much sweeter.I liked it enough that I would be interested in trying other flavors, but I don't think I will be buying the apple clusters.Edited to add: I will give them one thing, my dog loves them and since they don't have added sugar or other ingredients that are harmful to dogs, afaict, they should be fine as dog snacks.

Question: What is the smallest portion?

This snack definitely gets my vote. It tastes great and is a real departure from the usual snack. As the name suggests, it has a crisp texture to it that is very interesting--it's almost like a cookie but it has a soft inside. The 100-calorie pack is very convenient--it's perfect for an afternoon snack, or as a substitute for a granola bar in the morning. Both my wife and I have found it fits perfectly into our diets. A nice surprise!

Question: How good is the cookie?

Personally I'm not a big lemon fan one way or another, just find it okay - it's not my go to flavor when shopping.  But my girlfriend, she loves lemon flavored everything.  I got these for her & they didn't disappoint.  The flavoring is not overly strong, so don't assume these to be tart.  The flavor is sweet, but with a nice lemon hint to the icing.  I think the outer cookies were great as well, so no complaints from me - and I wasn't even planning on liking these.  My girlfriend already wants to put these on the next shopping list, so I guess I found a winner.

Starbucks is known for the very strong, almost burnt, flavor.  TheStarbucks Vanilla Flavored Ground Coffeeis something different.  On their web site, Starbucks bills it as "A blend of high-quality coffee with just the right touch of luscious, natural vanilla."  They also say "Enjoy with: A crumbly butter cookie (or two) and a pool of late-afternoon sunshine."How well do they pull it off?  The coffee has a very strong aroma of vanilla, a lot like freshly baked cookies.  The flavor is a mixture of the traditional Starbucks taste with an equal amount of vanilla.  For me, the two tastes do not do well when mixed together. The appeal of coffee and cookies to me, Starbucks web page ideal, is the contrast between the strong coffee and sweet cookies. How many people would like their coffee to smell and taste like cookies?  There may be some, but I cannot go for it.As for the claim of all-natural ingredients, corn maltodextrin is listed on the package as one of the ingredients.  The US FDA says this, "Maltodextrin ((C6H10O5)n, CAS Reg. No. 9050-36-6) is a nonsweet nutritive saccharide polymer that consists of D-glucose units linked primarily by [alpha]-1-4 bonds and that has a dextrose equivalent (D.E.) of less than 20. It is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch, potato starch, or rice starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes."  I guess it depends on what you mean by natural.

Question: What do you think about flavor?

Not caring for regular tea or the caffeine, I drink herbal tea exclusively and am always on the lookout for fun new flavors.  This Blackberry Vanilla sounded delicious,, not a flavor combination I had seen before.  I should also mention that my true test for how well I end up really liking a tea's flavor is whether or not I need sweetener.  If I need it then the flavor is most likely too bitter for me.Out of the box, the tea bags have a bit of a dried flowers smell, not very fruity.  However, when it is brewing the fragrance is delicious!  The berries wake up, and the vanilla too.I tried this tea both hot and iced.  As a hot tea, the flavor was alright, but it was like there were too many herbs and not enough berries.  I did end up needing a bit of sweetener, as I felt the flavor was too earthy.  The vanilla was too subtle to detect.It was when I tried this tea iced that I found I really enjoyed it.  The cold seems to suit the berry flavors nicely, I can taste the vanilla, and I didn't need any sweetener at all.I have never cared for Lipton's pyramid tea bag packaging.  There is nothing protecting the tea bags inside of the box, such as a paper liner, and since the pyramid shaped tea bags are too awkward to be individually wrapped, it's just open tea bags sitting together in a paperboard box.  Also, the bags and string are some sort of plastic-like material, so I cannot put them in my compost bin.As an iced tea, I liked the Blackberry Vanilla.  But the flavor as hot tea and the less-than-desirable packaging keep me from getting excited about it.

Question: Why do I have enough flavor?

I have tasted many energy drinks and they all tasted unnatural or like medicine. This one is definitely different. I immediately tasted the banana and strawberry juice (since it is made with 70% juice)and had a pleasant, natural flavor I liked a lot. I had it after my morning run and it was very refreshing. Also, I noticed that my alertness increased after having it. I know it was the caffeine that did this, but I would rather have the natural caffeine that all the chemicals other energy drinks have.

Answer: definitely different

Question: What are cookies?

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 was the product?

Those with an exotic palate may find something to like in Numi's Organic Savory Tea (Garden Sampler). There are six blends: Carrot Curry, Spinach Chive, Beet Cabbage, Fennel Spice, Tomato Mint, and Broccoli Cilantro. I sampled the Beet Cabbage, Tomato Mint, and Carrot Curry before writing this review.Numi is far off the beaten path of Lipton's. This is a tea that smells of soup. The good news is that it does not taste like soup. It is a full-bodied tea that takes 10 minutes to steep. The Beet Cabbage was enjoyable and mild next to the Tomato Mint. Both of them were jarring at first sip, due to the contrast with humdrum teas. Carrot Curry was the most flavorful, but many will be turned off by curry--still sparingly used in Western cuisine (and never in Western drink). The downside is that Numi tends to be extremely strong at the bottom, making for an uneven cup. Your mainstream tea gets stronger at the end, but nothing like this. The last 1/4 cup was of Tomato Mint was undrinkable. Potential buyers should be aware that Numi's tea does not tint the water as most teas do.. Your cup will be indistinguishable from hot water, except by smell.All Numi teabags are biodegradable. The tea is decaf, and works equally well night or day. Those looking for something very different from big-box corporate tea might find Numi's Organic worth a try. This reviewer will go back to the tried and true. Soup's proper place is not in a teacup. 3/5 stars.

Question: How much was the content of seeds and nuts?

As part of the Amazon Vine program, I received a Cherry Cashew bar to sample and review. My normal breakfast routine consists of green tea and a Luna bar, so I was interested in comparing and possibly having a different alternative.The ingredients are good: it's certified organic, gluten-free, has protein, Omega-3 added in, and it's vegan. There is no gluten, dairy or soy for people who are allergic to those. Of course, there are cashews, which are frequently processed in plants with peanuts, so I'd recommend people with peanut allergies steer clear of this bar.It has slightly more calories (200) than a standard Luna bar, and 9 grams of fat. That seems a little excessive, even accounting for the cashews in the bar itself. There are 4 grams of fiber, which is decent. The other nutrients of measure in the bar itself are mostly minimal, which makes it hard to believe the claim that the bar contains a "full serving of fruit". It is low sodium, to boot.The flavor, as other reviewers have commented, was very much reminiscent of fruitcake - only a little more dry, and with nuts. If you are a fan of fruitcake, you might like this.

Question: How is the quality of the flavor?

Starting with the most important factor in reviewing a tea ... taste ... it is pleasant. I have a difficult time putting much credibility into a review for a food/beverage product which claims the product "tastes great" or "tastes awful" since taste is 100% personal and subjective. I also won't pick apart how authentic the flavors are, because again, personally I think the taste is pleasant and I would make it a point to purchase this flavor in the future.Possibly because of the tea bag material, or maybe because of the chunkiness of the tea, it brews fast, making a drinkable cup of tea in just over a minute. On the plus side, if I leave the teabag in until I finish the entire cup it still does not become bitter. My personal choice is about 3 - 4 minutes.Speaking of the teabag, there are some interesting opinions about it. Frankly it doesn't mean a lot to me. On the positive side it has an attractive look to it which helps dress up serving tea at an informal dinner party. On the more negative side I have to wonder about any "plastic" product that may leech into my beverage. Each time I have to peel the string off the side of the teabag I wonder what's in the glue that holds it there.Lipton is very respected in our household so the bottom line is I'm not so concerned about the material that's used to make the teabag to not buy it, and overall this is clearly a bit more of a premium tea than average. I believe it is getting rated fairly at 4-stars for "I like it".

Question: Is there a variety of flavor?

I'm a coffee drinker and have tried various brands.  The price was great for this but in the variety pack there might have been a few 'bold brew' that tasted like coffee.  The others were incredibly weak.  The flavored coffees were awful.  Would not recommend this to anyone that enjoys coffee.

Question: How good is the cookie?

The taste was okay.  The cookie is thin and light and crispy.  You can really taste the blueberries, which is a good real honest to goodness blueberry taste.  But overall, the sweetness level was okay, the cookie was just meh.  I don't know it's like a cookie that was trying too hard.  We have been crumbling it up and putting it in ice cream, yogurt, mixing it in with granola.  The other problem that we have ended up having with these is that I did not know prior to purchase that the cookies had flax seed in them but not all of the seeds were finely ground, which means that well one the health benefit is lost but also the family members in my house who have diverticulitis got really ill after eating these cookies.I can't put my finger on what I didn't like about them.  Perhaps because the serving size is 3 cookies or thins and that is not at all satisfying as a snack and so it feels like another junk food disguised as a health food.  Taste wise they are okay.  But since they aren't really that healthy, I'd rather pop a real fig newton.
