Used couple of shakes in oatmeal; could barely taste or smell the cinnamon. Is my nose accustomed to the strong smell & bite of Saigon cinnamon? KA

My purchase was exceptional. Open the bag and the whole room smells like cinnamon. Only need a few pinches in tea or baking as it is strong.

This is so different from Saigon cinnamon. It take some getting "used to". Yes, it does not have that real strong cinnamon smell and does not have that "bite". I make a lot of cinnamon sugar (diabetic), cinnamon buns, bread and cookies. It took a while, but my family really can taste the difference. In fact I had someone ask me "how do you make your cinnamon sugar, its so good". You may want to use half Saigon Cinnamon and half of the Ceylon Cinnamon till you can taste the difference.

Smells more like an over the counter cleaner, than any of the spices you listed. Actually a little strong for my liking. You may get away using Tea Tree Oil and water if you are looking for a cleaner.

I popped one open to see and it seemed rancid, extremely fishy smelling. I have high quality cod liver oil that doesn't taste or smell bad at all.

No. It almost certainly tastes sweet from the type of cinnamon they use and the anise seed. I own some vietnamese cinnamon that is so sweet and spicy it tastes like powdered red hot candy.

This is very strong stuff. Atleast I think it is. Great for cinnamon drinks, candy etc. and I am talking using very little for the cinnamon taste and smell. I really don't think using it on the skin is very wise. It is not like any body cream or butter that I know of. I is a favoring oil, not a rubbing oil.

I don't notice much taste with this one. I put it in my oatmeal along with DMAE and C-ester and I don't taste any of them. I take another dose mixed into V8 juice (the organic version) and it dissolves easily with no taste.

This is more than likely Saigon cinnamon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saigon_Cinnamon

The overall taste in my opinion is spicy. Not spicy hot, but like cinnamon and clove. It doesn't taste bad. It has a hint of citrus taste, but more on the spicy side.

To be honest ---- The entire taste is strange and it does have a strange smell --- I just stopped using it! I went to meijer's ( store) and they have there own brand of oolong it taste much better and has NO SMELL! :)

No, it's very mild and soothing. No clove or cinnamon taste at all or even tea. Just a cardamom brew.

Having just opened my bottle and taken a deep whiff -- the mint scent is the predominant one for me, however there is definitely a vinegar scent as well..but not strong. I do use acetic acid-based disinfectants at work, so I may be less sensitive to the vinegary scent.

I hate cilantro and after about 5 mins that was all I could smell. I had to wash it off. It did work - but I am going to make my own blend with doterra oils, and leave the cilantro out!

Yes, in my experience it tastes and smells absolutely terrible. Best of luck!

I'm not really sure. The cinnamon is in a capsule which can be opened fairly easily. How soluble cinnamon is you can test that in your own kitchen with the cinnamon you have in a shaker.

I have no idea. You could ask the supplier for that info. It is the best fresh-tasting cinnamon I've ever had and goes much further than any other I have had.

Hi,I am not sure if it is pure or not. All I can tell is that frontier ground ceylon cinnamon has a better taste and aroma. I returned mine to amazon and got a refund.

Not to my nose. It has a spice smell but not cinnamon. It works GREAT however. The best of all I have tried. In fact the only working one of those I've tried.
