I almost didn’t order this because of the reviews but thought a sample couldn’t hurt in the end. Yeeeeeah. Tearing the bag open, soap flakes were screaming at me. The last time I bought a coconut, it was ridiculously soapy in flavour, and as a result, I haven’t bought another one since. Now I’m revisiting that experience.

The rooibos base is a little stronger but this is where the sweet licorice root plays a great part in aiding to cover that, along with the soapiness, up a bit. I don’t taste any vanilla, but the cacao husks are at least slightly noticeable too.

This would have been a lot better if a) this contained better coconut and b) there were more cacao husks. I’d mix the rest of my sample with Tisano cacao however that’s all packed up in a box and 100 km away so no can do.

Fjellrev, how many servings would you say come in an A.T.R. sample? I’m thinking of ordering some, but at $4 each, I’m hoping they make more than 1 or 2 cups.

this one turned rancid really quick for me from what i remember.

Fjellrev

The samples all weigh approximately 15g so you can get at least 4 regular-sized cups, so it’s pretty decent.

It seems like everyone’s arrives rancid. You’d think they’d try to fix this problem.
