Question: How was the flavor?

Compared to other teas, this has a light spicy flavor. I tried it after a large meal and it did help the food digest. It is a pleasant way to end a meal. No need to add sugar to this tea. It does not have the deeply bitter taste of most black teas. Will be buying this and other Puerh brands from now on.

Question: How 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 is oil?

I have been trying Viva Labs #1 Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in several recipes the last two weeks.  It has enhanced each one of them like no other coconut oil I have used in the past.  The flavor explosion that came through when used in a spicy shrimp and spaghetti dish was wonderful.  I used it to make a coconut and lemon rub for a baked chicken that seemed to come out with extra juice.  Even the gravy made from the drippings had a hint of coconut to compliment it.In addition, I used a small amount in an oil warmer.  It allowed the room to have a tropical smell for hours and made for a peaceful setting.  Aside from the Young Living essential oil line, this seemed to have the longest and most pungent aromatic quality to it.  As long as the price becomes reasonably close to other brands, Viva Labs has a winner on their hands!

Question: How is the  flavor of each is pretty?

I got a package of these to review for the Amazon Vine program.  I'm not normally a big fan of these add to water drinks.  But, this one is really good. It's not as much green tea as it is mango and pineapple. If you're a tea lover, you might not like this so much. It's very fruity.  I like the fact that it's not all artificially sweetened even though it does contain an artificial sweetener.  At least there is some honey in it.  I would definitely buy these.  I couldn't keep them away from my daughters and my wife.

Question: How is the flavor?

Since I am a fan of flavored coffee, particularly coffee flavored with natural ingredients, I knew I had to try this coffee. As soon as I opened the package to brew a pot, my kitchen smelled of hints of vanilla (my four year old son even asked me if I was baking something).  If anything, the aroma is most satisfying when drinking this coffee, but the taste isn't too strong. In sum, this coffee is good because of its aroma and delicious taste.  I am certainly impressed with Starbucks' new vanilla addition, and I will most definitely continue purchasing this coffee. For a two pack purchase on Amazon, the price is quite reasonable. Bottom line: if you enjoy drinking a nice scented coffee, this one is a must-try!

Question: How would you describe the bagged tea flavor?

This tea has a nice orange aroma to it. The flavor of this tea is somewhat subtle even though I let it steep for several minutes. The color remained pale. I like the pyramid shaped bags of this tea. Besides being cute, the pyramid shape is supposed to help the tea flavors infuse better.While this tea is not bad, as far as orange flavored teas go, I much prefer theBigelow Decaffeinated Constant Comment Tea.

Question: How is the flavor of the chipotle sauce?

I loved these savory teas. Granted, I've not tried other brands, so I've no comparison. I thought each of the flavors was clear and strong--though I steeped mine quite longer than the recommended 10 minutes. At the recommended time, the flavor was just piquing. Letting them go about twice that brought them to a fullness I enjoyed.I take mine with just a pinch of salt, enough to enhance both the savory and sweet notes, and the flavors were delicious. I will definitely buy these again, and will keep my eye out for other combinations.

Question: What flavor does it have?

The larger percentage of the ingredients in these bars seems to be the fruit, but it is not extremely sweet. The texture reminds me of a thick fruit-roll up with some nuts and other ingredients pressed in to it. The flavor is just okay.  I wouldn't buy them for their flavor but I would if I really needed a fast and healthy gluten-free snack handy.

Question: How is the chocolate flavor?

If you enjoy flavored coffee and like dark chocolate this is the coffee for you.  The chocolate flavor is super rich.

Question: How is the reaction to food and preservatives?

These Peeled Snacks Organic Apple Clusters are a healthy choice if you want something sweet with a good crunch. My wife, two kids (6yo and 3yo) and I all enjoyed this snack. The clusters have a strong apple flavor and are pretty sweet. The flavor is almost exactly that of the Kirkland freeze-dried apple snacks I have purchased from Costco in the past. Organic apple juice is the second ingredient, so it looks like the manufacturer has naturally sweetened this snack. Some may find the sweetness too much, but my family enjoyed them. The clusters are very crunchy. Some may think they are too crunchy. I would purchase these and would like to try other flavors.

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

QUICK SUMMARY:  This highly fudgey cookie is addictive and was gobbled up at a party in no time.  However, the cookies themselves are relatively small (just slightly larger than a Thin Mint or Oreo in diameter), and I/we did note a chemical taste not unlike that found inChips Ahoy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.  You'll go through a package quickly both because of the deliciousness and that you really only get 15-18 relatively small cookies.  More details follow...PACKAGING:(Note - I received this product through the Vine program and it is possible that packaging will change between the review version and final launch.)The outer wrap is a relatively standard Chips Ahoy pack.  Opening it involves lifting a tab on the front, which reveals three rows of cookies.  While the cookies in my package were intact, I was initially shocked by how much air is in the package.  Nabisco clearly re-used the tray from other cookie products, and these cookies do not fill the space.  As such, they're probably prone to bounce around and crumble if treated poorly in shipment.  The package can be re-sealed by pressing the flap back down and running a finger along the edge to adhere.  The cookies didn't last long enough for me to judge whether the package truly prevents the cookies from becoming stale.  The seal seems a little looser than I'd like.VISUAL IMPRESSION:The cookies look kind of shabby, to be honest.  They don't look like they'd be very chocolaty.  Also, the smaller size is quite striking if you're used to the size of a standard Chips Ahoy.  (This smaller size likely accounts for the large amount of airspace in the packaging.)FLAVOR:I was blown away by the taste of these.  While there is a slight chemical taste, it is the same chemical taste found in any soft-style packaged cookie.  The chemical taste is quickly replaced by an explosion of chocolate.  One guest I shared these with noted that the cookie tasted a S'more minus the marshmallow. (Idea for Nabisco: S'more flavor!)  I was initially concerned that the cookie would be too sweet, but the chocolate filling is kind of dark and semi-sweet which compliments the cookie perfectly.  The cookies are also quite rich, and I found myself satisfied after a smaller quantity of cookies than normal.NUTRITION:Well, it's a cookie.  You shouldn't be expecting a health food here.  It's 150 calories per serving, and a serving is roughly 2 cookies.  That seems fairly calorie-dense to me, but your perception may vary. Each serving has 21g of carbs, with 13g of those coming from sugar.  There's no trans-fats, and the ingredients list sugar, not HFCS, as the main sweetening ingredient.QUANTITY/VALUE:At $4.32 a package, that's roughly 24-28 cents a cookie or around 50-56 cents a serving (2 cookies).  While I didn't pay for this product directly, I have to say that I would not pay over $4 per package for these given the low quantity of cookies.  I'd watch for a sale or lower price.

Question: How good is the quality of flavor?

This is not the best herbal tea, but it is decent. When hot, it is a bit tart. It tastes a lot better as an iced tea. It also has a pretty red color when brewed. Though it is labeled as blackberry vanilla, I did not taste any vanilla flavor, nor is vanilla listed as an ingredient. You can get better tasting herbal teas elsewhere, but if you are just looking to grab something caffeine free at the supermarket, this is not too bad. It does contain rose hips as the second ingredient which makes a very healthy tea, high in vitamin C.I don't understand the appeal of using mesh bags for teas. They do not filter tea any better than biodegradable paper tea bags. It is also difficult to get them out and squeeze them with a spoon.

Question: How can the bread be described?

At last a really delicious bread mix that tastes like real bread.  I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and added 5 tablespoons of ground flaxseed.  I don't have a bread machine and it was a bit tricky to mix with my old hand mixer but it rose beautifully and baked up perfectly.  The smell of freshly baked bread was wonderful.  We couldn't wait and cut the loaf before it was completely cool.  No problem!  The loaf was moist and tasted like real bread.  Maybe the flaxseed and coconut oil helped.  The bread was fresh for days right up until the last crumb was gobbled up.  Sliced thinly, it makes great toast too.  I'm not a fan of those bean flours and this bread was much better than the others I have tried.

At last a really delicious bread mix that tastes like real bread. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and added 5 tablespoons of ground flaxseed. I don't have a bread machine and it was a bit tricky to mix with my old hand mixer but it rose beautifully and baked up perfectly. The smell of freshly baked bread was wonderful. We couldn't wait and cut the loaf before it was completely cool. No problem! The loaf was moist and tasted like real bread.

Question: How is flavor?

Izze Sparkling Pomegranate is not too sweet, but it is just as refreshing and fun as sugary soft drinks. The cans are small and stylish, perfect for carrying in your purse or backpack. Kids like it, and the smaller size makes it a more sensible serving.The company is ecologically and socially responsible, too.What's more, this flavor is very nice with a touch of Cointreau for a sophisticated and festive cocktail.An excellent alternative to sodas.

Question: What is the quality of the tea?

If you think teas is just for when you are sick, you are saddenly mistakenIf you think decaf tea is "weak", I urge you to try again with the Twinnings Irish Breakfast decaf. This isn't a herbal tea that tastes like your neighbors' old grass clippings. This is real tea.This tea has a rich, strong flavor without bitterness. It has a more robust flavor than Twinning's English Breakfast, which is also quite good. This tea is quite good in the morning as a wake up for those of us who have to avoid caffeine. And of course it's great at night because it doesn't have caffeine to keep you up.I recommend everybody and anybody to try this tea. It is yummy.

Question: How big is this candy?

A little smiley sweet-tart candy on a note with a fun design.  That's all these are, and I really like the idea.  The paper is very similar to the quality of those Valentine's Day card packs for children.  The candy is good, if nothing special, and is small enough to even please those on diets.  I think most people would like to find one of these hidden in a lunchbag or desk drawer.  I see complaints that they don't include a tape strip, but that would make it difficult to pop the candy out of the back.  The question is how much these will cost when they go on sale.  Given what they are, I don't think they should ask for much.  It actually makes more sense to me to sell them in 30-packs for a low price, which would be more useful for teachers.

Question: How is the flavor taste?

Savory Tea?  As a person who drinks several cups of tea a day, the concept intrigued me.  I can typically be found drinking English Black Teas (Earl Grey, Darjeeling, English Breakfast) and Chai.  I've been enjoying Numi teas lately because they make an excellentNumi Organic Tea Golden Chai, Full Leaf Black Tea, 18-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 3)and they are one of the few mainstream purveyors ofNumi Organic Tea Emperor's Puerh, Full Leaf Black Tea, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2), an excellent aged Chinese tea.  In fact, one of my favorite teas right now isNumi Organic Tea Chocolate Puerh, Full Leaf Black Tea, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2), a wonderful combination of aged Pu-Erh and Chocolate that Numi is marketing.That being said, this is a review for the Numi Savory Tea.  Who would have thought to combine all of these vegetables with tea?  Well, Numi decided to, and here is the result.First, I was surprised the Amazon listing didn't show the kosher symbol like most of the other Numi boxes.  If this is a concern for you, rest assured that these are certified Kosher by Rabbi Reuven Flamer at Natural Food Certifiers, shown as the Apple-K (symbol is on the bottom of the box)  They are also certified as USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Carbon Free, Certified "B" Corporation, and Halal.  Unlike many other organic teas (like Celestial Seasonings), they still individually wrap the tea bags which preserves the flavor and keeps them fresh longer.  The bags are stringless however.I would highly recommend you try a sampler pack before committing to a whole box.  Numi has done an excellent job here, with 2 flavors each of 6 flavors in the sampler pack.  The teas are not just vegetables but include decaffeinated tea as well (two are black, four are green).The black teas are "beet cabbage" and "tomato mint".  Unless you are Dwight Schrute or you grew up on Borscht, you likely have the same feelings towards the smell of beets as me.  It's good for an indicator of acid/base, but not much else.  I brewed it and wasn't surprised I didn't like it.  The Tomato Mint was quite a surprise and very interesting.  I experimented a bit with it, and found that instead of adding Splenda or Honey, adding Salt greatly brought out the flavor.  In fact, it was a bit like a dilute tomato soup, with a kick from the tea and mint.  Maybe I should add some tea to my tomato soups in the future?The green teas are Carrot Curry, Broccoli Cilantro, Spinach Chive, and Fennel Spice.  Of note is that the Broccoli Cilantro actually contains 90% of your daily requirement of calcium and Fennel Mint contains 50%.  So these teas have benefits if you are trying to increase your calcium intake.  The green teas were all pretty good, with each improving with the addition of a bit of salt.  I know it sounds weird to add salt to tea, but trust me, it brings out the flavor.So why only 4 stars?  I have to be honest - I didn't enjoy any of the teas enough to buy them again.  Interesting idea but not my "cup of tea".  But Numi is a class act and if you like this sort of savory tea, then they have done probably the best job possible of packaging and producing vegetable savory teas for a mass market.

Question: Is it flavor?

I didn't think I would like this, and I didn't. Now I give it four stars to be fair. FOR a stevia product, I think it's better than most I've had. My husband enjoys the 'taste' of stevia and says this stuff is good. For anyone who hasn't had it, in my opinion, stevia has a sort of "nutrasweety" aftertaste. I don't care for it, but I know others do. If you don't mind stevia flavor, then I think you'll be happy with this.

Question: How is the flavor?

This is a very smooth tea that blends in the cardamon flavor very well.  I could not tell much of a demarcation between the flavors, which is a mark of good tea for me.  While the flavors are blended well together, the overall flavor is fairly mild, even with a good amount of steeping.  So while this is better than generic tea, it doesn't quite get to the same level as the flavored loose leaf tea from the local shop.

Question: How is the aroma?

I like hot drinks like coffee & tea, and I like the flavors of lemon and ginger.This drink has a pleasant aroma and a spicy/sweet flavor. The ginger flavor is very strong -- almost like eating a Ginger flavored Altoid. The ginger's spicy flavor lingers in the mouth for a while after each sip.This drink is great for cold days and I bet it'd be super soothing if you had a cold or a sore throat. I may pick some more of this up if I see it at the grocery store.

Question: How is flavor?

Are your children asking for soft drinks, but you don't want them to have all that added sugar?  This is a wonderful alternative.  It's 100% juice with no added sugar.  The sugar comes just from the natural juice.  The carbonation makes it taste just like a black cherry soda.  Also the 8.3 ounce size is ideal for kids or adults who don't want to fill up too much on the typical 12 oz. can of soda.  It's not exactly a health drink and you still want to limit your intake of natural sugars, but it gives you the great taste of a soft drink without artificial additives that you find in most soft drinks.  Also, with this being real juice you do get some vitamins that you don't in regular soft drinks.  The downside for calorie counters is that this 8.3 oz can has about the same calories as a 12 ounce can of soda.

Question: How is health benefit?

Numi's cardamom Pu'erh tea has a nice spicy scent, but the smell doesn't carry over to the flavor, which isn't bad, but it is bland and lacking in taste.

Question: Does the chips a good cooking point?

I am always looking for healthy, low calorie snacks, so when I heard about Popchips, I was intrigued.  They are crunchy chips that are not fried, and not baked, but created using heat and pressure to make them pop into being.  Since I love sweet potato chips in general, I thought I would give these a try.The first thing I noticed was the color.  They looked a bit lighter in color to other sweet potato chips I have tried, and I think this is due to them not being fried.  They really looked the same color as fresh, cooked sweet potatoes.  I did not notice any particular smell, other than good old sweet potatoes.  So far so good.In terms of taste, I thought they tasted great.  The chips were nice and crispy, with only a hint of salt, so you really got to enjoy the naturally sweet flavor.  I can really see that these will help satisfy cravings for something crunchy, something salty, something sweet, and especially something that is all three.The texture is definitely not that of a typical potato chip.  They are lighter, crisper, and airy, not as dense as a rice cake, but not as greasy as a typical chip.  All in all, I was really pleased with them.  Someone looking for a healthy replacement, or enjoys other veggie chip type snacks would really like these, I think.  For a die hard chip lover, these would might not satisfy you upon first taste, but give them a couple of chances; personally I loved them.With the snack size bag being 100 calories, I am pretty sold on these as a healthy snack alternative.  This would be a great addition to a sandwich for lunch, or an in-between meal snack.  I am happy to add Popchips to my snack rotation.

Question: How taste the cookies?

My kids really loved this cookie, perhaps because we don't buy many soft baked cookies. The cookies are moist and soft, with a layer of chocolate in the center. Since it was warm when they tried it, the chocolate (there's a lot of it) easily melted. My kids thought this cookie was great, lots of chocolate! I found them a bit grainy and lacking in texture, making them merely okay. Since I'm not used to soft baked cookies this might just be a personal preference. Overall, it's a cookie; of course it is good! Yet I wish it was just a bit better. Sill, if you enjoy chocolate you might enjoy this.

Question: What is your favorite beer flavor?

I love raspberry anything, and I already was thinking this would be good, not usually a good thing, as my expectations sometimes get the better of me, and then I am let down. Not so in this case. The woodsy taste of this sauce is just right. It isn't overly sweet, and has a nice blend of flavors. As I am a BBQ nut, I used it last week on a piece of venison I had in the freezer. I marinated it for two days and then grilled it up (just missing a very heavy snowstorm...though snow wouldn't stop me). I was pretty impressed with the way the venison came out. It really did a great job taking away any of the gamey taste, without having to use a better wine or brandy (what I used to use). The sweetness was a very nice addition, and well balanced. It was not overly acidic, and the meat was very tender. I have tried this on salmon, and again, I was very happy with the taste. I usually prefer a milder fish like Chillean sea bass, swordfish, tuna, or even fresh cod. This may end up being my new Ketchup (put it on anything and it tastes better). :-) The cost does seem a little high, but really, you get what you pay for, and here, you are paying for quality. I have also tried this as a salad dressing with pistachios and walnuts, feta cheese, spinach, pear slices and lettuce, and it was also great. If you are not allergic, try it, it's a great alternative for tradition mixes and flavorings!

Question: What flavor do you like?

Right out of the wrapper, this bar doesn't exactly appear appetizing.  Taking a bite of it, though, I found it to be pretty good.  This is definitely not a good snack for anyone with nut allergies, as it's studded with nuts.  If you're not allergic, it may make for a nice snack, if you are not bothered by the following.First off, the primary flavor of this bar comes from the ground dates.  While I could taste the blueberry in it, it was more something that would sneak up on me every few bites or so.  Mostly, it tasted like I was eating a ground date bar.  The nuts provide a nice crunchy contrast but, like the blueberries, I only encountered them every couple of bites.  If you're a big fan of dates, you would likely really enjoy this bar.  If you don't like dates, this is definitely not for you.The thing that really held me back from truly liking the bar, though, was the texture of it.  I liked the crunch of the nuts, but the bar has a very grainy texture, which is also a result of its being mostly dates.  With each bite I took, I liked the flavor and really wanted to like the bar, but I just couldn't get past the texture.  I like the concept of it, but I think it would have tasted better if it had fewer dates and more grains, giving it more of a granola bar texture.

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

I received a free container of this product to try. To test it I waited until the weather turned cold & my skin began to feel dry. To test it, I used this product on left leg & arm, and Sebamed moisturizing lotion for sensitive skin on right arm & leg.  I applied these products once a day - before bedtime, for 3days. At the end of this test both sides of my body felt equally moisturized.Pros of Viva Labs product- it will definitely last longer than a lotion moisturizer & lack of multiple ingredients reduces risk that your skin may react to it.Cons- it comes in a tub & it takes some patience to apply because the product is hard until the warmth of your fingers melts the top layer. It of course made my body smell like coconut, but in the morning the smell had declined enough that I don't think anyone standing near me would notice. Finally, I usually avoid any skin product that comes in a tub because each time you put your fingers in it you are transferring bacteria into it. I am not a chemist & don't know if harmful types of bacteria are likely to multiply in coconut oil.If you favor organic products or skin care products without a lot of chemicals, & if you are not allergic to coconut, this seems like a good option.  And of course, if you have a partner or spouse at home, make sure she or he is okay with the smell of coconut!

Question: How is it flavor?

So yummy and it's pretty too. There are little chunks of straight chocolate mixed in with the granola and berry bits, so you could pick the chocolate out if you are so inclined. (And I am!) The whole mix of flavors is nice and this stuff is very crunchy. You don't want to eat it in a movie theater - the folks next to you can hear the crunch. My Mother was delighted about the organic aspect, but I don't care one way or the other personally. I want a snack that tastes good and feels satisfying and the Love Crunch does that very nicely. The only complaint I have is when compared to average grocery store granola snacks, thie Love Crunch is VERY expensive. We'll probably buy this now and then as a treat, but it's just too pricey to be a staple in our pantry.

Question: What is your take on the juice flavor?

We're pretty rabid coffee and hot chocolate drinkers at my house.  The Maxwell House International products aren't something we normally buy, but I figured this could be a really nice alternative to the coffee pods in hurry.  Sadly, the Peppermint Mocha Latte experiences left us a bit wanting.First and foremost, the flavor of the Maxwell House Peppermint Mocha Latte isn't bad; however, at the recommended amount of powder to water (4 tsp per 8 oz of water) the flavor is really, really subtle.  I would not recommmend using their recommended amount of powder unless you're looking for something more akin to a tea.When we upped the ratio of powder to water, the product was much better.  The flavors of the peppermint weren't overpowering, and you still get the flavor of the latte coming through just fine.Overall, it's a middling product.  It isn't bad at all, but I think there are better mixes out there if you're really looking for a nice flavor experience.

Question: How is the vanilla flavor?

This is good coffee - not weak, and not overly strong, but the vanilla flavor is a little strong for my preference. On the plus side, there was no funny aftertaste like many vanilla flavored coffees have. Simply put, if you like a strong vanilla flavor, this is a good choice for you. If you prefer the actual coffee to be the focus, and the vanilla to be more of a background note, this is not the choice for you.

Question: What is the flavor like?

When my one review pack arrived, I thought I'd have a quick taste just to see how it compared with the Kashi GoLean Crunch that DH has been eating to replace the decidedly NOT heart-healthy snacks that his cardiologist says he can't eat anymore. Why not? I could just zip the bag back closed. Well, I tell you, I had to sit down right there and pour myself a bowl with milk. Wonderful. And now we have something that can be sprinkled over greek-style non-fat plain yogurt, which he IS supposed to be eating more of. The evaporated cane juice provides just the right hint of sweetness without being too much sugar, and the high level of fiber will certainly be a boon to healthy dieters. The flax seed is an added benefit for heart health.My 60-year-old teeth are sensitive and weaker now than they used to be, so I often have difficulty chewing some of the granolas. This Kind blend is chewy and substantial, but not so hard that it's risky for me to try to eat it out of hand. Softened with milk, it's no problem at all. I'm not on a gluten-free diet, but I have friends who are, and this product would be just fine for them. The mix of whole grains has an interesting texture and taste, and the whole blend tastes so good I'd warn you not to sit down with the whole bag in front of the TV. It WILL be gone before you know it.Cost is my only problem with this product, but not because it's not worth the money. Healthy food costs more than junk, as it should, and it's clear to me that Kind is very healthy indeed. We're on low fixed income, though, so this would have to be an occasional splurge item for us, used more as a condiment on aforementioned yogurt than as a complete meal. I can stretch $5 worth of beans or chicken a lot further than I could one of these 11 oz. bags. I might, though, try it mixed in with oatmeal.In short: It's good food.

Question: How is it flavor?

I've had some pretty good pu'erh tea before, especially in Yunnan, China, which is the center of pu'erh. Good pu'erh tea is fermented then aged for several years and has a very complex flavor, and can command rather high prices. The pu'erh in these bags is obviously not of that caliber. While the brewed tea has a rich, dark color, it lacks the layers of flavors of a good pu'erh tea. The ginger is predomindant, but it's the flavor of dried ginger instead of fresh. The pu'erh flavor notes are limited to a little bit of earthy/woody, and lack the bit of natural sweetness and additional complexity that I've noted in good pu'erh before. Good pu'erh also allows itself to multiple steepings, but this tea lost most of the pu'erh notes and tasted merely of dried ginger when it was steeped a second time. There's nothing really offensive about this tea, but it's kind of boring.
