Thought these were Jelly Belly jelly beans.  The taste was discussing (to me) as it seemed as if I was eating a ball of sugar with black dye - totally stained my hands and kitchen sink as I was shoving them down the garbage disposal.

Although this says Organic the dyes that are used are incredibly dangerous for me.  I washed them twice and even handling them gave me a terrible allergic reaction that sent me to the Urgent Care clinic.  My face and tongue swelled up.  I had trouble breathing.  I would send them back if I hadn't had my neighbor take them away from my house.  I was afraid they would kill me.

I really wanted to like this! I didn't read everything very well, so I am writing this to re-emphasize what has been said. It has 20 grams of sugar! It has a strange aftertaste! The 2nd ingredient is sugar! It's definitely not what I expected. I gave it 3 stars, because I only had 1 bottle. There are many kinds of tea in it. Shake the bottle before you drink. Does anyone know what the aftertaste can be? Unfortunately, I read the good reviews and I didn't research it well enough. I don't usually rush to write a review, but I wanted to help balance the reviews. I mainly tried because I had a good coupon. The fruit is less than 1 percent. I don't see the antioxidant listed on the label. Maybe that's the aftertaste? Again, everything is in the description. I just want to say it again.

I was excited to receive it but once I opened it I was hit with an intense chemical smell.  When I played it I could taste the chemical and it made me light headed an nauseous.  Might have been a fluke thing but I returned it and will be buying something else.

There were holes in the plastic bag containing the candy. The candy was stale and nasty tasting. I think I got food poisoning -- I have gastrointestinal distress today, after I ate some of this candy last night.

*In completely honesty*

I didn't like this at all. Now limmie tell you why.
First of off when I unpacked it this s*** was so confusing! I didn't know if it was upside down , downward wtv.
Second this s*** stains (if you buy black) your hands will be black and oh by the way if you plan on washing it WASH IT APART WHY BECAUSE YOUR CLOTHES WILL STAIN!

I wasn't happy
Sorry not sorry just being honest

I liked the candy bar varieties I've tried but I didn't like the taste of these. I'm not sure if it's due to the type of chocolate or if something else skewed the taste. I'm sure the flavor will grow on me but they are the least favorite I've tried out of brands that don't have red dye 40 in them. (I'm allergic to this dye)

I was at the Cheese Cake factory when I was first introduced to this.  The lady at the table over from us had a cup of tea that was so spicy and delicious smelling that I asked the waitress for some of my own.  Turns out she had brought it in and only ordered hot water to brew it.  The fragrance is intoxicating and I ended up (to the embarrassment of my sister) asking the lady what it was.  She showed me the package, said she loved it, and that she could only find it online.  So as soon as I got home, online I went in search of my own "Sweet and Spicy" tea.  At first, when I dropped the bag in my barely boiling hot water, I was in love.  But when I finally tasted it, I was so turned off that the entire box now resides in my trash.  The tea smells great, but tastes horrid.  I don't even know how to explain it, other then my mouth felt numb after my first sip.

Holy moly! Who came up with the idea of drinking this black powder substance? I mainly blamed myself for buying in the idea that consuming this will help me. First of all, the power was messy. I drank a teaspoon of bowder mixed in cold water. My entire mouth was black even on my lips and chin so I decided I might as well brush my teeth with it while I am at it. Then, my entire mouth turned into black. It look me 20 minutes to get rid of the black substance in my teeth, tongue and lips. I used floss and  waterpik to clean well. Then again, had to deal with all these black spatters in and around the sink. I don;t think I can put up with the mess even if it does amazing things they claim this does. I am not going to wait around to find out about benefits.
Contacted amazon and this bag is going back. Happy to pay for UPS shipping.

Not sure about anyone else but I washed these gloves once and started to notice a black residue between my thumb and index finger. It was almost like a magic marker type stain and it was hard to wash out. Everytime I sweated in them afterwards, I kept getting black residue on my hand. This tells me the fabric is cheap and low quality. I have since ordered new workout gloves by another company.

The bag advises "rinse under cold water before cooking" which I did.  But instead of turning purple after cooking, as the bag said, the rice remained completely black.  Looking online, I noticed that several other brands showed a more mixed appearance, with a few lighter grains, and overall not as intensely black.

Out of curiosity, I washed the next batch in hot tap water, rather than rinsing it in cold. !!! After TEN hot washes, it was still leaking pure black dye which has stained my hands and nails.  A slight, strange chemical odor wafted up as I poured the blackened water down the sink.

Black, not purple!

I had become suspicious with the first batch when some of the cooking water got on my white stove, and left a puddle that was dark purple with a little black dusting in it.  Since I do a lot of dyeing, this looked all too familiar, which is why I looked at other brands afterwards.

There is a reason for the absolutely perfect, rich, even, black on this rice!

The first batch of black rice was delicious, and I can't recommend black rice highly enough, but NOT from this company.  If the rice looks perfectly black in the photo, be suspicious.  Especially if it's from China, which Nature's Earthly Choice is.

This stuff was not great. It tasted gross, by smelled awesome! So, I guess if you put a lot of cream and stuff in it, it may taste okay. Drink it black and it's gross.

Tasted like dirt compared to DoMatcha, the color was yellowy green rather than the bright green of DoMatcha... and it's from China which also put me off. I wanted to try this because the DoMatch (organic) tea is SO expensive, but this tastes so much like dirt, I literally gagged. SO disappointing.  I'm returning this and going back to the DoMatcha. I know what good tastes like now.  In the meantime I would like to find something less expensive that tastes as good as DoMatcha... anyone know of anything? Thank you.

The flavors tasted very chemical-y to me.  I wound up sending these with my husband to add to the community tea stash at work, since I won't drink them.

Tasted bad.  Not sure why though... might've been because I was sick, but ended up eating only one before donating the rest away.

Fresh, crunchy, and tasty, but... why all the artificial color?  These corn kernels are like neon red and stain my fingers.  It's a little scary.
