I have never had black tea this good before.I love lychee fruit and wanted some black tea for the caffeine content.Problem is I do not like the taste of black tea.This tea is different it is not bitter.It is smooth in taste.I do not add sugar to my teas so they have to stand on their own.This one does.That is why I purchase teas with flavors in them.This may seem expensive, but realize this is 100 bags of tea and comes in a huge box.If you look a regular tea it is a much smaller box.This looks over three times the size.Great tea try it for your caffenated tea.It is wonderful tea.This beats out earl gray or english breakfast tea in taste.This tea is a pleasure to drink.I just wanted to get some caffeine in a tolerable way with no artificial sweeteners or regular sugars.This is it.In the highly sweetened american culture there is a way out drink this tea from china.It is calorie free with no artifical sweeteners. I am not asian, but I love asian products.

Product Description:
The delectable lichee fruit thrives in the warm, almost tropical summers of southern china, and the most famous lichee orchards are found in Ling Nan County in Guangdong Province. This red skinned fruit opens to reveal a juicy, translucent white fruit, bursting with the fragance that has made this fruit famous. There are only a few scented teas in China and Lichee is perhaps the most popular among scented Black teas. No artificial flavorings or essences are used. Before the final stage of processing the black tea, the lichees, after being slightly dried, are added to the tea leaves and this all natural scenting is repeated several times. The result is an amber colored, round tasting brew, mellowed by the deicate sweetness of lichees. Enjoy the experience of this beautifully ripened fruit in each cup of lichee black tea and savor its wonderful aroma. Perfect for sipping any time of the day, FooJoy Lichee Black tea does not require milk, sugar or lemon.

This product is made in China.I would not believe any claims they make regarding allergy safety and vegan/kosher.Considering Mrs. May's markets itself as a healthy product, I was shocked when I glanced at the back and noticed this product was made in China. China has proven that we can not trust their manufacturing practices. Unsafe toys, dog food, and now we're supposed to trust them making our health food?

Not to mention the carbon footprint created by shipping something halfway around the world. I will not buy this product anymore.

I would rather purchase the Sahale snacks that are made in the US, even if they are a bit more expensive.

All natural. No cholesterol. Dairy free. No additives. Vegan. Wheat free. No preservatives. At Mrs. May's we're mostly nuts! The good kind. Peanuts. Almonds, Pecans. Cashews. Walnuts.

We use only premium-grade, wholesome ingredients. No artificial colors or flavors. And we believe in free - as in cholesterol-free, dairy-free, wheat-free. We put plenty of natural goodness in our light and crunchy snacks. But mostly, we're nuts. Product of China.

Navitas Naturals Certified Organic Goji Berries, Himalayan Superfruit, Goji Power 8-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 2) Review

These berries are thought to be one of the one of the healthiest natural foods. There are many "stories" about the amazing benefits of these berries, many of which may be true, but a few verifiable facts about them (in dried form) follow:
1) High protein (about 12%), and are a complete protein. This is good for anybody, but particularly noteworthy to vegans, who choose not to get their protein from meats.
2) Decent fiber content (about 10%)
3) 18 (!!) amino acids
4) Like most sweet fruits, high in carbs and calories. 100 grams give you about 350-380 calories; roughly 3/4 from carbs and 1/4 from fat.
5) 6 vitamins, 8 amino acids, 11+ minerals (more in trace amounts)
6) Carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids (this is a good thing), phytosterols (help lower cholesterol), and other healthy (or theoretically healthy but not particularly well researched) phytochemicals.

Enough with the technical jargon. These berries are great in cereal, smoothies (once hydrated), and tea. For tea, try this:
Put water, a small number of berries (6-15ish) and a teabag in your cup, microwave for about a minute per teacup (time varies), drop a small amount in your favorite tea along with the teabag and let the berries and tea steep for about 3 minutes.
This adds a subtle character to green tea (plus an unusual, tasty snack to do with a few of the sips). The flavor seems to blend well with chai and jasmine too. This may work differently for those who use creamer.

Of note:
- If you let them soak for too long (more than about 5-10 minutes) they get mushy and lose their texture and flavor.
- If you do not soak them long enough, they can feel a little bit gritty. I think this is due to the seeds. I don't mind it myself, but some might.

I recommend that you try a bag, keeping in mind that you may need to soak the berries in water/tea/whatever in order to make them soft, and see what you think. I have found they make a great addition to my usual cereal-only breakfast because they give me a much-needed protein boost.
If you like them quite a lot, you may want to take the time to look for a supply in a nearby Asian foods store. I have heard they can be purchased at a lower cost in bulk.

The reviewer that reported these are "gross" may have received something from a bad batch. I think they have a nice cranberry/raisin-ish flavor and have almost no noticeable odor (and the odor isn't an unpleasant one to me).

Extreme Health Organic, Wild Tibetan Goji Berries, 16-Ounce Bag (Pack of 2) Review

Extreme Health Organic, Wild Tibetan Goji Berries, 16-Ounce Bag
Average Reviews:

I recently ordered these and was extremely disappointed.Here were the problems:

1) OLD!!They actually tasted dusty and I could feel no potency in them at all.
2) Wolfberries not Goji Berries.Since I've consumed Goji's from many sources over the years, I know which are the highest quality Goji's (usually quite expensive), which are less potent, and which are the different tasting Wolfberry variety that many sellers pass off as Goji's but are not the same.Wolfberry has its own benefits (not nearly those of Goji IMO), but for Wolfberries these are widly overpriced.You can get the same in Chinese stores for probably closer to $10 for twice the amount.

With the dollar devaluation top quality Goji berries have gotten very expensive for regular use.So if you're looking for cheaper alternatives like I was here, look elsewhere.Check out some of the cheap goji berries (that are in fact wolfberries and usually say so) on Ebay from Chinese sources.They'll be quite a bit cheaper and likely quite a bit fresher.

Product Description:
Extreme Health Goji Berries are wild crafted-picked in the wild far from pollution, in Tibet's sheltered and pristine valleys. And while other certified organic foods may be treated with pesticides so long as spraying is discontinued three months before being picked, ours are chemical-free from seed to harvest. Our all natural, sun dried goji berries, which are never processed or artificially sweetened, are packed with 18 amino acids and 27 trace minerals. You won't find a healthier or more delicious treat. Great as a healthy snack, topping for cereal,as a tea, and as part of a variety of great recipes.
