114,100 | I am a relative new comer to the world of coconut water, and as such have not had a lot of experience with the variety of waters available. In fact, it was rather overwhelming when looking at all the varieties available.
Given the price of a case of water, it would be prohibitive to buy a case of everything and find the one I liked.
So I went to the local health food store and bought single cans of everything they had.
Out of all of them, Amy and Brians with the pulp tasted the best to me.
I have never had the water directly out of a fresh young coconut, so I cannot vouch for its "Authentic" taste or anything like that.
It didn't taste overly sweet to me (the can even states that its unsweetened)
It tasted like coconut flavored water w/ pulp and that's what I was hoping for.
As for some of the packaging issues mentioned in other reviews, someone must have been listening, because my case came superbly packaged with nary a dent.
Enjoy! |
114,101 | This cheesecake is the best. I sent several orders to all my family all over the country for Thanksgiving and even ordered one for myself. Everyone raved about it. Good value and excellent product. Would definitely order again. |
114,102 | I liked it. Good experience. Gave as a gift. Used one myself on Xmas morning with the family. Good product. |
114,103 | It seems to work just as well as the Hill Prescription Diet brand for Urinary tract at a reduced cost. |
114,104 | SHIPPED IN TWO BOX'S COULD BE PUT IN ONE. JAMMED SIDE WAYS IN THE BOX IT WAS IN SO TIGHT WILL NEED A HAMMER TO GET IT LOOSE LIKE POWDER AGAIN. HAVE BOUGHT FROM OTHER COMPANY'S ON AMAZON & THEY CARE ENOUGH NOT TO DO THIS. AMAZON GAVE ME A REFUND SO THAT WAS PROFESSIONAL BUT THE FACT SOMEONE WOULD SHIP IT LIKE THAT. ?? GO-CUBS-BABA-BOOEY. |
114,105 | I so love this Jerky. It is moist but not too moist and has great flavor. We have tried several of their flavors and they are all awesome. Great prices for hormone free stuff and no preservatives. Jerky tastes so much better and richer without MSG in it. |
114,106 | I just finished my last jar today... :-( I live in NC and Teddie is not sold here. |
114,107 | Our family has been buying these in Laguna Beach every year as long as they have been making them! I was thrilled to find a way to bring them home! |
114,108 | Can't imagine a better tea...must be English in my bones. P&G Tips is TOPS!! Perfectly packaged. A dab of sweetener and a dollop of fat free half & half and the economy fades away with the rising steam... |
114,109 | I had this granola for the first time about a week ago on a trip - bought a bag at the airport and it was very good. When I got home I ordered a lot of 12 bags from amazon and it arrived yesterday. The individual bags of granola were very compressed and so the granola was broken into tiny bits - you're supposed to be able to eat this with your fingers. I opened one bag for a taste and it was completely, no-doubt-about-it stale - even though the expiration date on the package was 12/2012. So, beware of grocery items with severely reduced prices - they're likely reduced for a reason. I'm so disappointed especially because you cannot return grocery items. Blurgh. |
114,110 | This is abolutley the best and tastiest mix of all. Wonderful by its self. Love it on home made hamburgers instead of lettuce. |
114,111 | This tea is a party in your mouth! I've really enjoyed it! The combination is amazing, makes me think of what an Asian tea should taste like. The tea bags are kinda cool; you can see the "popped rice." I've shared it w friends, and their now fans as well. :) |
114,112 | As someone who is 60+, I remembered enjoying steel-cut oats as a child and thought that it was a product that was long-gone from the food scene...in fact, I remember it was difficult for my mother to find it even back then. I was surprised to see it offered at Amazon and decided to try it. It has the same dense, crunchy texture I remembered and a great flavor. In addition to eating it with some sort of sweetning (brown sugar, maple syrup, etc.) and milk, we also make it as a 'hash' where we mix prepared steel-cut oats with pork sausage and then saute patties. I also enjoy it simply with butter,salt, and pepper. As you can tell, I love it and recommend it! |
114,113 | Bought these to help fill a pinata, all the kids went crazy for them. Each was individually wrapped well and candy was fresh. I would definitely purchase them again. |
114,114 | I have used this soup mix almost 20 years. It is my secret ingredient for my greens (Collards). People who have eaten my greens say they have never had greens so good. The "Secret" is out. I also use it for a personal recipe, Cabbage Stew. It goes well in gravies, over roasts, and even in BBQ sauce. It is a very nice flavor for anything you want to add it to -- even spaghetti. This is as common an item in my cabinets, as a box of salt. If you have not tried it, you do not know what you are missing.
When the only store in my city was discontiuning this item, I bought the last 13 boxes. That was over 7 years ago. I buy a case of this (10 boxes) every three months. Now that the holiday season is upon us, I have bought 3 cases, yes 30 individual boxes. The first time I bought this item, I made the recipe that was on the box -- savory herb and garlic potatoes. I have been hooked ever since. |
114,115 | Years ago my husband bought a case of this Hot Sauce because of the name. He would give it as a gift. I opened a bottle and used it in a few recipes and it is awesome. I have a special salsa recipe that people ask me for and I tell them this is a must ingredient. Then when they tell me their's wasn't as good as mine and ask if I gave them the "real" recipe, I asked if they got Scorned Women. Of course they didn't and it makes all the difference. It taste like no other Hot Sauce I have had and actually has an great smokey flavor not just hot. I think I have to hand it out with the recipe, LOL. A little does go a long way. I have searched in every grocery store and never find it but was thrilled to find it on Amazon. |
114,116 | The bread is great and is the best gluten-free bread available, however this is a terrible price. Typically it is $4.99 at any grocery store and Trader Joe's is even less. Amazon should provide a bulk price break. |
114,117 | Always a favorite in the summer months. I've made four of these kits and they never seem to last very long. The kit itself has corks, shrink tops and labels. I'm a red wine drinker but my wife and her friends love this wine. |
114,118 | Hands down, this bar is amazing. It is very filling, but seems so light and fluffy while you are eating it. Unlike most bars that seem sickly sweet and artificial, this bar has a very light sweetness to it and is not glued together with a sugar cement. This really tastes like something you created in your own kitchen from scratch. |
114,119 | Idk why people are freaking out about the corn content of this product. It is not a GMO. That is personally my only concern when buying something w/ corn in it.
I have tried multiple brands of gluten free pasta and this brand is the only one I like. The corn and rice blends found at other stores (like Walmart) are not nearly as tasty as this brand (and they are GMOs). I like the grainy texture of this pasta and it always cooks well. It is the only brand I buy now. If a recipe asks for a shape of pasta Ancient Harvest doesn't carry, we will still use this brand despite not having the right one. |
114,120 | This is the cookie that is the bain of my existence. I absolutely love it.
They taste best when they are really fresh so if you buy this 12 pack dont wait 6 months to eat them all ... they dont have a long shelf life ... they get hard and loose flavor even if you never open the bag. This is probably because they are made with natural ingredients and dont have the preservatives found in other cookies.
But honestly i love these cookies they are sweet, crisp and very gingery ... even my sister and brother in law who don't eat anything "healthy" or "organic" because they think it wont taste good, where impressed with the taste of these cookies.
Now they are hooked too and buy them all the time. |
114,121 | It's oregano and it's ground.....what else do you need to know? It tastes great when I put it in the water to boil my artichokes. I ordered this on Amazon because I couldn't find the finely ground stuff at my local grocers. No regrets....will order more when this one is gone. |
114,122 | I have used this oatmeal with all three of my children and they love it. I am glad Amazon sells it because our local Walmart stopped carrying it. Thanks Amazon :) |
114,123 | Sams Club discontinued their decaff & we thought it was the end of the world. This was such a fantastic bargain, we were a bit skeptical about the taste. Boy, we worried about nothing. This coffee is wonderful! Full, rich flavor and when we brew a strong pot it's beyond Starbucks, Caribou, or McCafe's dreams.
We will loyally be purchasing this coffee! |
114,124 | This is really good tuna. My husband makes me order another case as soon as we open the backup case. We give it as gifts we like it so much.
I will be surviving quite well on this tuna at the end of time. Mine, or the worlds. |
114,125 | This is the best food for our Baby. She loves it, but will only eat the chicken feast. And the price is great. Really expensive in the grocery stores.
Thank you for a great product. |
114,126 | I bought a 3 package set of these after seeing them on here cheaper and with next day shipping by using prime. I saved about $1.25 per pkg as well as the $11 shipping cost and didn't have to wait 4-5 days after processing to arrive as I do with another company. They all arrived unbroken and did not stick despite being left out on my porch in 100 degree weather after delivery. I'm looking forward to ordering again." |
114,127 | This is one of our little guy's favorite snacks. We divide the bag into servings placed in small plastic containers so he can grab a serving at snack time...this is always the first one he reaches for. |
114,128 | My vet is always surprised how clean my 8 year old dog's teeth are and I attribute this the his daily Greenie. |
114,129 | My cat loves it. She is a beautiful Siberian with nice long coat and she loves Evo. I also give it to my 2 ferrets since the cat evo is cheaper than ferret Evo but practically the same thing :) |
114,130 | I have bought this coffee for years & it is excellent coffee. However, surely Amazon has made a mistake on the price. I agree with the other reviewer, this coffee can be purchased at Costco for 75% less. |
114,131 | If your picky about your gu - don't buy the multipack, but if you like the variety...this is your best deal. Love them for running...none of them are bad, but I don't particulary like the coffee ones. |
114,132 | I have used this product and same brand that comes in the jars and it is very good to put in my smoothies. However, this product is vacuumed sealed and it looks like a pain to open, and I do not think the bag is reusable once open. So, I am going to save my jars and store product in those. i just wish the picture they displayed looked like what I received in the mail! |
114,133 | This product is way better than some of the pricier brands, rich, deep dark color. Perfect for the espresso machine you got for Christmas. Makes beautiful lattes, and they don't cost $4.00! |
114,134 | I wish there was more popcorn per bag, this is the most delicious I've ever had! The black truffle and white cheddar go together well. |
114,135 | I'm in love with this! I love it on my frozen yogurt even had it on ice cream when the yogurt was gone LOL I'm not a "fresh" yogurt person but it would be good mixed with the fruit too.
Just a hint of cinnamon but just right IMO Lots of flax seed so was crunchy enough too.
I recommend this! |
114,136 | Being gluten free isn't cheap, but this company makes it a lot more affordable. I have not found a cheaper price on buckwheat than this, nevermind it is organic too! We just went through our first 25 lb bag - it cooks & tastes wonderful. You won't be let down. I'm buying another 2 bags today! |
114,137 | I used to LOVE this tea and was excited to rediscover it. However, I only recently noticed that artificial ingredients are listed, and are 3rd in line ~ even before cinnamon! Definitely negates the benefits of drinking tea, in my opinion, and I will be sticking with 100% natural products in the future. |
114,138 | Coffee milk was a childhood favorite of mine. I knew we could only get in in Rhode Island then, but God bless the internet. My son is now a huge fan and I get to share my childhood memories of this stuff with him. |
114,139 | I really does not taste any different than sugar. It is like brown sugar and I put into a glass container, it stays fresh. |
114,140 | I had previously been using another one of Zukes products for treats for my dog but my mother in law gave me a box of these baked treats to try and I have never seen my dog act so well!
The baked zukes are great because there is no odor or residue that gets left on your hands.
My cockapoo will run into her kennel when she sees me going to get the baked zukes at night in anticipation of doing what I am going to ask her to do. She LOVES these treats.
I just wish I could find them in stores, I can only seem to find them on Amazon. |
114,141 | I first discovered Wagh Bakri tea in a local store but have been unable to purchase it locally since then. I was delighted to find it on Amazon (but not surprised because I find so many things I want here). The tea is wonderful, and the service of getting it delivered to my door is great. I will purchase it again.
It is truly the best tea I have ever had and I have shared it with many friends. |
114,142 | Having just started a new new workout regiment I was glad to try out this new (to me) water through Amazon Vine. The size is good, though too large for drinking while driving, for instance. Just about right for after a strenuous workout. I'm not a connoisseur of waters but I did like the taste and did not experience any after-taste. |
114,143 | I've had gasto-intestinal problems for quite awhile, and the doctor finally recommended I try alternative methods of treatment for awhile. My cousin learned about Manuka honey, and I chose to try Wedderspoon's because of their company policies: truly organic, no artificial raising of the activity level, etc. I could tell a difference within three days! I had my daughter try it and she had the same experience. Stomach pain gone or much lessened, reflux much more controlled, and NO side effects like those with all the various medicines. I'm excited to see what can be accomplished over time as we continue using this awesome product. |
114,144 | These cookies are great, even greater since they have no gluten, no dairy, no eggs, and are light crispy and oh so good. This is a phenomenal price too, and I love the small snack pack size!!!! Thanks Amazon. And thanks Dr. Lucy (who lives one town over from me!) |
114,145 | Not a bad soup...if you like carrots. Which I don't, and which the packaging and product description in no way indicates. So, be forewarned, this is chicken noodle soup with mini noodles AND carrots. |
114,146 | I love this cheese popcorn by Jolly Time.
I hope I will be able to continue to find it here. |
114,147 | I truely enjoy this product and consume one can at least once a week. I like the fact that it is in olive oil which is good for your insides as well as outsides.
Keep up the good work Genova Tonno.
Always use this one and nothing else.

114,148 | Kukicha twig tea is one of my favorite teas. It goes further than conventional tea because it's brewed differently (simmer a teabag in a pan of water). It has a mellow
woodsy rich flavor, not bitter at all. No sugar needed. Excellent change
from coffee or regular tea. |
114,149 | Since I have a cup of Celestial Seasoning Chai Tea every morning, I was very upset when I could not find it in any market where I shopped. Couldn't even find it at Celestial's own site. But Amazon had it and that made me happy once again. I plan to have it sent at regular intervals from now on. |
114,150 | Gave up smoking? Good, now give up aluminum. Pretty easy to do because this brand works just as well and is cheaper.
We buy an ocasional store cannister in order to get the easy dispense can and then repack the empty can with these. |
114,151 | Our family loves soup and this package is great for a fast batch of homemade chicken soup. We throw 5 of 6 chicken thighs in a pot of water and boil it until it is cooked and tender. We use boneless and skinless chicken thighs as they are faster. Don't put in too much chicken skin as you will get too much grease on top of the broth. If you have chicken with skin we remove the skin from all of the chicken except one thigh.
Shred the chicken and use 8 or 9 cups of the broth and whisk in the soup mix. We also add a cup of frozen peas and carrots to the mixture and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
You now have a simple and hearty chicken soup that your entire family will enjoy. A fast and healthy meal that tastes as good as homemade. You will love this soup. I posted a photo of the nutrition label for your information. |
114,152 | Would have loved to give five stars, but this shipment was scheduled to arrive on a specific day (it was ordered as a birthday gift for my Dad) and it was a day late, despite tracking saying it was on time(??) I cannot say whose "fault" that was, but otherwise, the product quality is absolutely great. My Dad is quite the Cashew Connoisseur and he was very impressed. Slightly pricey, but turned out to be well worth the cash. |
114,153 | This California style salmon jerky tastes great, but a little overly dry and hard to chew, in my opinion. Still it is nice to have, and it is very funny to see looks on people faces when you offer them salmon, somewhere on a trip in the middle of nowhere. |
114,154 | I've used Chicken Stock Base for all my chicken, seafood, turkey, meat, rice, and lamb recipes for the last 40 years and I've yet to be disappointed. CSB is a balanced addition to any recipe requiring that 'something' to enhance its flavor and allow for the individual flavoring shine with the comment 'wow', 'this is really good'...without competing with additional spices like turmeric, curry, saffron, ginger or cardamon. It's my favorite basic spice bar none! |
114,155 | They get the order flavor right about half the time. The vegetable is too spicy for me which is why I prefer the beef noodle cup. Neither have MSG so that is still a plus. |
114,156 | I'm a student and I love this deal. It works out to less than 45 cents per bar. How sick is that?? The only problem I have is hiding the box from my roommates. Does amazon sell safes? |
114,157 | Bought the six pack the Orange Balls didn't last 2 hours. Everyone enjoyed them tremendously. I would buy this product again. Fantastic gift. Thank you |
114,158 | First off, these are dam addictive, be careful. They're slightly sour, tart, but not puckering sour. Haribo did a dam good job on these fizzy colas, I will be buying more in the future if I don't become a diabetic by then, good day! |
114,159 | While you can make your own chai tea, it does take some work to gather all the spices and then steep them in milk. The Oregon Chai tea mixes are rather easy to use. You can either make regular tea and add the packet like you would milk and spices or you can serve this with hot milk or even just water.
If you are looking for a very creamy version, you can make a 16-ounce cup of hot water in the microwave and then add one packet of Oregon Chai Tea Mix, 1 packet of hot chocolate and 2 Constant Comment tea bags. That is my favorite combination so far.
While the tea bags are for an 8-ounce cup, I make a much larger cup of tea, so this is perfect to mix with a tea bag and more powdered milk.
Ingredients: Sugar, dried whole milk, dried nonfat milk, natural flavors, dried honey, tapioca maltodextrin, decaffeinated dried black tea and salt. Yes, salt!
Each packet is 100 calories.
Also look for Ready-to-drink individual servings and liquid concentrates where you just add milk.
If you are just using a packet of this mix and 8 ounces of water, you might still want to add some powdered milk to make it extra creamy. Whipped cream and nutmeg also make the drink more delicious.

114,160 | This is a great product and would highly recommend to all Keurig fans. You can make your own k cups at a fraction of the cost. |
114,161 | I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never tried Annie's ginger snaps before, but I do like the Annie's line of products, so was willing to try these. They are very crunchy!, somewhat grainy (as I guess most gluten-free products are), and very light on ginger flavor. I don't think my kids will eat them, but they should go nicely with a hot cup of tea. |
114,162 | I'm giving this hummus five stars because, as the other reviews state, it is yummy. But I wanted to let folks watching their fat grams know that it is not low fat. It has 50 calories per serving, 20 calories of which are from fat (mostly from the tahini, I gather). But I repeat, it tastes great and it's super convenient, and I give it five stars for that. |
114,163 | Better price on-line than at my local stores. Good to dip tortilla chips in after it sets a bit. Healthy high fiber soup for thoses that are into that sort of thing. Some of the packaging was banged up and I had to toss two containers of the soup. |
114,164 | I like Raisin Brand and I love almonds & cinnamon but I did not care for this cereal. I found very few almonds in the two bowls I ate and the cinnamon flavor was overwhelming. The cereal did seem to stay crisp longer in the milk but the powerful cinnamon taste was just too much for me. |
114,165 | Coffee is more like cold colored water than coffee!! Wanted some strong coffee, very disappointed, wish I Had not ordered so much, was trying to save money, but feel like I got ripped off big time!! |
114,166 | This is the only Ragu sauce that I have ever tasted that didn't seem to be a clone of Campbells Spaghettios. It was actually tasty for a product line that is notoriously bad. |
114,167 | i purchased this product for a family member because they love bean dip. this is their favorite. great tasting and does not make chips soggy.yes they are smaller than the grocery store but worth it. i would order again. |
114,168 | I just received these today as a gift to myself. I admit I was extremely hesitant after reading some reviews but I have been dying to try real French macarons for some time and where I live there are not many bakeries that sell them (they're all Greek and Italian). The packaging is adorable and probably costs more than the actual cookies but the cookies themselves are amazing! So rich and flavorful, texture was light and luxurious (fresh obviously would have been better). I'm so glad I got them though. The only thing keeping me from purchasing them as gifts for all my friends and family is the price, which is a bit up there considering there's only 8 of them. Nonetheless, they are a beautiful and delicious splurge. |
114,169 | These are the real deal. Italian hot chili peppers marinated in olive oil. They are salty, delicious heat. I like slapping them on slices of fresh bred or crackers and stuffing myself. They make a great antipasti addition or pizza topping. I probably woudn't include them in pasta sauce or with pasta because they are pretty salty, and there are better options for that (Like Delallo's imported pepper and garlic pasta sauce, which is similar but with garlic and not very salty). If you are a hot pepper aficionado you will love these, not becaues they are burning hot (they aren't) but because they have enough heat to be respectable, but also flavor that you can't find among typical hot peppers. |
114,170 | when you are in the mood for a snack but not really hungry, these nori strips almost melt on your tongue. they are spicy but NOT too hot and you can make nori rolls with them, but they will be small. very tasty alternative to chips without all the starch or the calories. I eat them all the time, oh, NO MSG, means no headaches. |
114,171 | I got an espresso maker a few months ago, I've tried generic espresso, Starbucks loose ground espresso roast, and these pods. These pods are definitely the best! Best taste and much easier to use. Less than 50 cents a pull. Had problems with the filter clogging with the ground espresso, obviously not a problem with these. |
114,172 | The product was sent promptly and carefully packaged. The dried blueberries are the best I have ever had from any company. I certainly recommend anyone who wishes to purchase a quality product to order from Stoneridge Orchards, with confidence. |
114,173 | They are in perfect shape with 8 Angles. So hard to find good ones like this.
The aroma from this spice was so good and strong. They are 200% better than those cheap
herbs from China town.
Will definitely buy from this company again! |
114,174 | I have to agree. Best Earl Grey there is. Robust but not bitter. I have tried the other brand(s) and none compare.
Oh look.. 4 o'clock.. Tea Time! |
114,175 | The taste of Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee is so wonderful. As soon as it begins to brew, you can smell it throughout the kitchen. The taste is deep, rich, and sweet! |
114,176 | I bought a package of each flavor of the Fruitables treats and my dogs love, love, love them! They're definitely crunchy but no different than any other crunchy-type biscuit. While two of my dogs would eat garbage, one is a bit more persnickity. Even he gobbles these down! Between Fruitables and Zuke's, we're done with grocery treats forever! |
114,177 | The color is right. It's wet and the texture is rich. Utterly devoid of taste. Adds nothing to any dish except moisture. |
114,178 | Please buy and see for yourself!! They now need to add a crunchy version and almond version too! The difference in fat grams and calories are ridiculous! So happy these guys invented this stuff. |
114,179 | I ordered some of your other samplers as gifts and they went over big, so I'm back for more. How about some sugar-free samplers for my diabetic friends? |
114,180 | If you buy one tin, buy ten because your cat will think these are wildly delicious. Strangely enough they are shaped like fish, but they contain ingredients like green tea extract and rosemary oil.
We went through one tin in a week and my cats thought these were the best treats they had ever tasted.
I had no idea cats would enjoy rosemary oil in a cat treat, nor did I think they would paw at the empty tin begging for me to buy more. Definitely a treat to hide in a safe place.
Even after taking these out of the packaging and box, my cats were clawing at the box to get more. You have to hide the box
in a high place or in a drawer or they will find a way to get into the container. lol
I'm not sure who enjoys these treats more. I love
seeing how much my two cats enjoy these treats. The
tin with two treats can also work as a training tool
because the cats will instantly respond when they
hear the treats being shaken in the tin.
~The Rebecca Review |
114,181 | these bags of peanuts are just the right size, not too big not too small, that is why they are just the right size. |
114,182 | I bought this popcorn as a gift for some dear friends. The have commented back several times that it's the best popcorn they have ever had. They love it! They had shopped in the DC metro area to find white popcorn and could never find it so one look on Amazon was all it took to find this -- the best popcorn ever!! |
114,183 | was my sister's reaction when she opened up her birthday present. She also says, "It's a good thing someone thinks of these things, so there will always be randomness that we don't know we need until we get it." |
114,184 | My dogs love these! They smell great and my guys will do anything for them. The ingredients are first rate and they are perfect for treating and training (or just plain spoiling!). |
114,185 | I was expecting normal pebbles, you knmow like Fruity Pebbles or the Cocoa Variety but I got a flavorless pile of knock-off Lucky Charms. These taste nothing like the others and the texture is also pretty bad. The only good thing about them is the marshmallows, I picked them out and gave the rest to the birds and ducks in my pond. Not that cheap either. All in all I'd rate this 2 stars. |
114,186 | It is the double mocha and it is great. I would have given it 5 stars but it is a little to "mochaie" if there is such a word. I prefer the regular mocha. I can make 1 glass last a whole day. I make it very hot in the morning and just sip it. Eventually I add an ice cube. Oh by the way I start with 3 heaping tablespoons so when I add the ice it doesn't water it down. Later in the day I switch to iced coffee so I add sugar lots of ice and some water. Believe it or not it still tastes great. By the time I finish this it is almost dinner time. I want to make another glass but I have a hard time finding mocha decaf.
You're probably not going to read all this but it is why I like it 4 stars and not 5.
see ya |
114,187 | I have lots of ground coffee and since having my Keurig have not been able to use it. But, with the disposable cups, I can use up all my ground coffee and get the tastes I want. I would buy again; convenient. (Be sure you snap the lid on securely because it is a tight fit.) |
114,188 | ** Update 11/05/2011 **
I sent an email to Twining to also point out the problem to them. They replied to thank me for taking the time to bring the problem to their attention. They indicated they had addressed the issue and said they wanted to make things right for us, which they did.
They sent a package with a selection of teas in a beautiful wooden box and also some boxes of the k-cup English Breakfast tea and a personalized letter from Monica, Twining's Customer Relations Representative (was not a canned letter response) again thanking me for taking the time to make them aware of the issue.
I must admit I was very pleasantly surprised by Twining's gester. I just didn't think--or expect--a corporation would respond in such a personalized way to acknowledge an issue and to want to make things right the way they did. Bravo to Twining for understanding their customer-base is made up of individuals just like me that warrants a personal touch when things aren't quite right with a product.
I can report I have not had the same problem with the new k-cups Twining send us and so it appears the problem has been resolved. As such, I have raised my rating from a 1 star to a 4 star, still withholding 1 star for the original issue. I will now return to purchasing the new red top English Breakfast tea k-cups.
*********************
Recently poor seals between the plastic part of the k-cup and the foil seal on top of the Twining English Breakfast Tea K-Cups have plagued us with tea leaves in the tea and overflowing tea leaves into the top of the holder requiring clean up just about every time.
At first we thought it was our Keurig coffeemaker having a faulty seal and replaced it even though we'd only had the previous one for less than a year. However, upon purchasing a new Keurig we experienced the exact same thing right from the start. Of course, we then wondered if we'd bought a second faulty coffeemaker. That's when the light bulb went on and we realized the problem didn't happen with other k-cups--a different brand of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc--just the Twining brand English Breakfast Tea regular k-cups.
It's a shame because we've been ordering and drinking Twining's English Breakfast Tea K-Cups at least a year or two now and it's only been the last two bulk batches we've ordered that have done the exact same thing. And, it's not just from one of the boxes. We've opened and tried k-cups from some of the other boxes and the same thing happens.
The fact that it has done the same thing with two separate Keurig coffeemakers, it doesn't happen with any other brand or flavor of k-cup beverages, and it only happens with Twining English Tea K-Cups from different boxes from two different bulk orders pretty much narrows it down to the Twining English Breakfast Tea K-Cups themselves.
I hope someone at Twining--we'll also leave the same feedback on their web site--will see this review and resolve this apparent and repeatable problem. Until then we're going to switch brands. Too bad because we've still got 6 boxes of the offending tea k-cups but having to strain tea leaves out through our teeth and having to keep cleaning tea leaves from the top of the coffeemaker holder isn't an option. |
114,189 | At first my cats enjoyed this flavor, but after a few cans they slowed down and started to eat less of it or reject it completely. The times they did nibble at the food, large fish bones and spinal columns were left at the bottom of their bowls. I think my cats simply don't like the flavor because they don't like having to pick all the bones out. |
114,190 | I purchased this product out of curiosity -- to see if it would work differently (or as well) in my homemade yogurt than the instant powdered milk. And oh, yes, there's a big, big difference -- in taste and consistency (in the liquid milk *and* the yogurt). Based on the cost of instant dry milk around here (GA), it's quite a bit less expensive too -- you use less of it to make a quart than with instant.
While I've heard that this form of milk is harder to mix, I didn't find it that much different from reconstituting the instant version, except that I needed to use warm water instead of cold. I did have a first trial that gave, ahem, unexpected results. ((YMMV, of course -- but if you end up needing to use a whisk, and plan to use the milk for yogurt, you might get an interesting "bubble effect" texture in the finished product. :))
On my next experiment, also with warm water (just under 120 degrees), a few rounds of patient (slow) spoon-stirring was all it seemed to take -- I just waited a minute in between stirings. In each case, adding the nearly-room-temperature starter-yogurt made the temperature just right for the yogurt-maker. (If you use warm water and plan to use the milk for drinking, you'll want to refrigerate until chilled -- in other words, plan ahead.)
So again, the mixing process is a little different, but not that much different -- and the results are very much worth the little bit of extra care. To me, the chilled liquid tastes as good as regular milk from the store -- I didn't think I'd ever say that about powdered milk!
Just a couple of downsides to mention, though they're minor:
- I wish there were mixing directions on the package -- how much powder to use to how much water. But I eventually found ballpark directions on the Internet. I used about a cup of powder and a bit over 3 cups of water to make a quart of yogurt, but it turned out so thick, I'll probably try a little less next time.
- While the product packaging doesn't say this, I suspect this form of milk is the kind without the added Vitamins A & D that most store milks have. I get plenty of these vitamins from other sources, so it's not a deal breaker for me. It might be for you. |
114,191 | This is great bold coffee. It's not bitter and it is a great price. We drink a lot of coffee and have bought tons of high end brands. This one is good! |
114,192 | A kind friend bought a six pack of these for us to try out. My pre teen has Celiac and our kitchen is GF and we are always willing to try out different GF items. Our current bread standby is from Glutino and, while it is not perfect, my kids enjoy it - especially when used to make french toast!
The Gluten-Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix, 22-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
The first four packs I made I followed to the letter. I was a little disappointed that the instructions on the back for using the bread mix for oven baked bread, bagels, pizza dough, cinnamon bread and egg free bread all stated in large bold lettering that it required the use of a heavy duty stand mixer. I don't have one and so those options were out for me. But still, using the recipe for breadmakers turned out decent (if fairly flat) loaves. I made the basic recipe and the sweet bread. The instructions state that you should make this on a Basic White bread setting instead of the Gluten free setting on your breadmaker and that is what I did.
(Note that if you are buying this mix to bake in your oven, the package states that you need to use a stand mixer!)
My child said that the bread was okay but that it had a wierd texture and taste to it. I think the texture was due to the grainy nature of the 3 rice flours in the mix. The flavor, I think, is the Millet flour which tends to have a bitter aftertaste. Millet does have good nutritional value but if the flavor turns off the child from eating it what is the point??
Anyway, I still had two packs to go so I decided to tweak things a little. I made the sweet bread recipe again but this time I used butter instead of oil and baked it in my Zojirushi breadmaker on a programmed gluten free program and Voila! The bread rose beautifully! It had a light airy feel to it; a bit spongy - almost like a cake. The 1/4 cup sugar covered up the bitterness of the millet, home made butter (could use unsalted) instead of the melted oil made it rich - and it tastes almost exactly like Challah bread!
So if you are just GF and not CF as well, this is a sure fire way to make some excellent sweet egg bread. And if, like us, you miss your Shabbat Challah, this bread mix will be a wonderful addition to your kitchen! |
114,193 | My kids love this ravioli, but if you have a World Market in your area, look for it there b/c it seems to be cheaper in the store. |
114,194 | What an awesome surprise this soup was. I have been a long term customer of Amy's. I have tried many of their vegan wraps, burritos, and frozen prepared dinners. Nothing from this company had been disappointing. This soup only has 120 calories for the entire can so i figured what i lost in calories would also be lost in taste. I was very wrong. It is full of a variety of veggies and a nice flavor. I add some dried oregano just to top it off. I haven't purchased this off amazon but i know it is much cheaper here than in stores. I plan on ordering this off here when i move so i have more room for all these cans. I highly recommend this to anyone. It is a healthy vegan-friendly organic soup. |
114,195 | I never give my therepy dogs any food product made overseas. I am alway concerned about lead and what ever else goes into products my dogs digest. I friend told me about elk antlers. I was very interested having read this was a natural product. I also wanted something that would be hard like a bone to help with oral care and reduce plaque. Well, my dogs love this! They chew for hours. I belong to Windwalker Humane Coalation and could not wait to share this product at our next meeting. I shared the information, now more dogs are loving this product. |
114,196 | This product is great! It is so easy to make a quick smoothie in the morning, just add water. Or you can always add it to some frozen fruit. I love it. It helps give me energy and fills me up. |
114,197 | We ordered this for a family member that has to maintain a gluten free diet. The Amazon "Product Features" section describes the product as "Vegan, gluten free" but the produt is NOT GLUTEN FREE.
All other soups of this brand, including this one, are great products but if you require a gluten free product, DO NOT ORDER THIS VARIETY. |
114,198 | Bob's Red Mills lentils are my favorite legume. They have a slightly sweet taste and cook very fast- 20-30 minutes. Be careful not to over-cook them because they are very tender and will fall apart, still tasty though. The soup I make calls for sauteed carrots, celery, & onion. Add ham or sausage if you wish. 1 garlic clove, oregano, salt (if you haven't added salty ham), and optional hot pepper flakes. It is very hardy and filling. Caution: Lentils can be difficult for diabetics to handle. |
114,199 | I have Systemic Candida, and at this time, my diet is very restricted and I cannot eat sugar or fruit. My holistic doctors have warned me off against using products like Splenda, Aspartame, and Sweet & Low. Most of them recommend Stevia as an alternative, but I found Xylitol and it is as close to sugar as I have found. I use it in hot tea, in smoothies, on my cereal in the morning, and elsewhere. I am amazed at how satisfying it is, and I no longer have a need for sugar at all. It has been replaced!!! Not to mention it is better for me, has less calories, and is good for my teeth. The answer to my prayers. I bought some for my Father who is a diabetic and he loves it too. I have not had any gastrointestinal reactions to the product at all, but I have read that some people have. Don't consume too much too quickly. |
