This mix is the best of yerba mate with just a hint of chocolate. If you are looking for a more milk-chocolate flavor, try it with a little sweetener and milk. The hint of chocolate gives this yerba mate a more bitter flavor closer to coffee than the plain yerba matte but without the coffee acid and reduced caffeine. Yerba mate is a good flavor in itself and not just as a coffee substitute. The chocolate gives us yerba mate fans some variety in flavors. |

To my very pleasant surprise, this particular product of yerba mate is spiced in such a way that it requires nothing added to it to make it drinkable. I down a couple mugs of it now every morning, and am slowly weaning myself off of coffee. For people who want caffeine, but want to avoid coffee or sugar, I would recommend this drink. Nothing is needed to add flavor--all the flavor is right there in the little tea bag. There is an earthy undertone, but it is set off perfectly by the light chocolate and spice flavors. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new drink, especially something a little different from the norm. |

I'm glad I picked it up, it's a great tea, great flavor, no sweetener needed but it tastes closer to chai to me than it does chocolate. I add a tablespoon of organic cacao powder and some organic vanilla almond milk to make it a "dessert tea." |

It is more of a spicy tea with a teeny tiny hint of chocolate. It's good if that's what you're looking for, but I was hoping for more chocolate. I tried it with an almond/coconut milk and without anything added and preferred the tea with the milk. |

Lemen | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1334966400 | Great Taste & Nice Pick-Me-Up | This tea has a good mixture of chocolate, mate, and cinnamon with no unpleasant aftertaste. I was a die-hard green tea drinker and used to add 2 Tablespoons of Agave or Honey per 20 oz. cup. Now, I've completely converted to this tea and I only add 1 tsp. of Agave per 20 oz. cup and it is delicious and energizing. I'm glad I spend the money for one box to be sure that I really like it.
It's nice to know that I'm getting a steady energy buzz without any crashing that I used to get from coffee. Green tea never gave me a boost of energy though I did enjoy the taste as long as I added a lot of sweetener.
I highly recommend this brand, and I wish that Amazon sold it in bulk as they do other teas. I found a cheaper source online for six boxes under $39.00 and no shipping cost. That's about a $17.00 saving from buying 6 boxes through Amazon. I'd rather buy from Amazon as I'm a long-time customer and trust them. Hopefully, they are reading this and will sell this particular brand in bulk, in the future. |

The blend of mate, coco, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and stevia is just right. You can taste a little of each without any of them overwhelming the others. It also has the smoky notes and invigorating properties of mate that I personally love.
Try it double strength with cream! |

Boy, was I dissappointed! What I received is vastly different from the Original Hot n' Spicy. First of all, it was obvious when I opened the box and saw a bunch of orange and black bags, instead of the green and white bags I had expected. Second, the flavor and texture is different, too. It is significantly spicier, which means my kids can't eat it (they LOVED the old version, so I ordered a LOT). The new version also has a different texture-more of a glaze than a seasoning-that I really do not care for. Anyway, I am giving it three stars because as snack mixes go, I still prefer this one...but I sure wish they would bring back the old formula. |

It has a strong cinnamin/nutmeg flavor that reminds me of pumpkin pie. I tried one and don't think I'll be drinking any more. As far as energy goes, I do think it works - but I can't enjoy the drink enough to continue. |

I happened upon these puppies by chance at the grocery store - had never seen them before. I'm a fan of the "Flamin' Hot" variety of Cheetos and other snacks, but I also love Chex, so I thought this would be the perfect combo.
Note to self: this is not from the same company that brings you Flamin' Hot flavored snacks.
This is hotter. SO hot, I'm coining a new name - hottier. It seared the top layer of my taste buds off and is cauterizing the lining of my pipes as I type this. This stuff is HHHHHHHOTTTTTTTT!
I'm the type of person who usually buys 'medium' hot salsa, but can handle some hot varieties. Flamin' Hot flavored snacks pale in comparison in regards to Scoville units. I do not know what the Scoville units are for either variety - but I can tell you, the soft inner lining of my digestive tract was not prepared for the assault I unleashed upon it by masticating this snack mix.
I can echo the sentiments of another reviewer - this is somewhat mislabeled. This is more of a Cajun blend than merely a hot blend. A review of the ingredients do not reveal any cayenne pepper, Tabasco or other famous Cajun flavorings, but that is the impression I get. I can almost taste crab oil on the back of my throat, but it is not listed in the ingredients. I guess it could be a psychosomatic reaction.
I was hoping/expecting flavoring akin to Flamin' Hot - but I cannot tell you if I was exactly disappointed as I was surprised by the Scoville meter in my mouth that was screaming for the fire extinguisher. I can feel a rumbling in my bowels that will no doubt become a topic of discussion with my husband when I get home this evening. |

Now, my dog is far too refined to do anything so gauche as 'training'. I mean really, a 'sit'??? What unrealistic expectations the primates in the household have!
Seriously though, my dog is (perhaps obviously)a greyhound. True to her breed, she is quiet, sweet, low energy and generally sleeps about 21 hours out of the day.
HOWEVER, when THIS treat bag gets shuffled she is all about getting to the kitchen QUICKLY (did I mention she is a greyhound, quickly is pretty darn fast!).
On a scale of 1 to 10, these are a good 11.
In the realm of 'would my normally respectful dog climb on the dining room table to get these' the answer is 'only if I'm dumb enough to leave them there'. Trust me, finding a full grown greyhound on a table is disturbing. I was only that stupid once--come to think of it I suppose these are great for training--I got trained not to leave these anywhere the dog shouldn't go.
In other words these are a nummy delicous treat and you just have to get over the squick-factor that these are actually dried bits of lamb lung.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY JACKIE THE GREYHOUND |

It is about a foot tall or taller and stuffed full of treats. They aren't really chewy, and they smell a little, but my dog loves them. Perfect size for stuffing his JW ball, I bought the medium size, I think this is it: JW Pet Company Hol-ee Roller Dog Toy, 5-Inches (Colors Vary). A bag will last you a long time. |

Therefore this is not a very economical sweetener, compared to stevia products.
There is a slight fruity fragrance to it, which is ok, but didn't seem to affect the taste of tea despite changing the fragrance of the tea a little.
When we (my husband and I) did the taste test, after sweetening two glasses of the same tea to what I perceived as the same level of sweetness, we couldn't tell the difference between NuStevia and Slimsweet.
We also tried mixing the two samples of tea together, as I had read that combining the two improves the flavor, but we couldn't tell any difference.
-- Added the day after. After doing the above taste tests, I took a gallon of freshly-made sun tea, sweetened it with this product, and put it in the refrigerator as we often do. When I got up this morning I drank some, and I thought it tasted awful, but I didn't say anything to my husband. Later this afternoon he told me he really didn't like the new sweetener and please don't use it again. I don't know what changed from the tea samples we had yesterday.
If I could change this to 2 stars, I would. |

A serving of the cereal, with a pat of butter, some sweetener, a pinch of salt (my secret ingredient), a few berries, and some nuts, makes for a delicious breakfast that doesn't spike my blood sugar, and is terrifically filling. It's not beautiful -- the chia seeds in the mix make for a....uh, call it an unlovely consistency -- so I wouldn't be feeding it to guests, but the taste is great, and I am big-time picky. |

Lord help you if you are diabetic. Read the ingredients .. this is basically sweetened vanilla extract with added vanilla seeds added and thickened with the Gums. It appears that some people really like this stuff but its not for me. I'll stick with the real beans. |

There is not much alcohol in the paste, so it's great to use for a true vanilla flavor without the bitter aftertaste (keep in mind it does contain some extract so I'm guessing there is a minimal amount of alcohol in this). This is certified kosher and is gluten free for anyone who might be interested in this info. Also, the vanilla specks create visual flavor...after all, people taste first with their eyes. I'll admit that I tend to overdo vanilla in my recipes, which is why the paste is so much better for recipes where the amount of liquid does matter (whipping creams, ice creams, creme brulee, etc.).
Be aware that the paste isn't really a paste. It's more like a syrup. I've tried other Lorann products before (mostly their emulsions), so I'm glad that this product meets expectations. It's comparable in price and potency to vanilla extracts, but I'll be using this paste almost exclusively for the reasons mentioned above. |

But I can't afford them. And this is the next best thing. I went through the 3 jars in no time this summer, making the best vanilla ice cream we ever had. And Oh, the strawberry made with seascape berries. MMmm, good! I bought vanilla paste at Trader Joe's but this is a much superior product in flavor. So I just reordered in time for holiday baking. I have not tried other LorAnn extracts as I usually buy organic. For this great product I make an exception. It delivers the goods to your baked goods and custards. |

I don't know about you, but once I priced the cost of vanilla beans I told her that she would never be making creme brulee. I saw this vanilla bean paste on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. The creme brulee came out tasting just as good as at any restaurant. That was two years ago, and I've purchased many bottles of this stuff for my wife. I highly recommend it! |
