    Pretty darn good!

    I got this to take camping when the weather gets nicer. I tried some at home and I was pleasantly surprised! 1 round teaspoon in a mug of hot water plus a packet of sweetener was perfect.Interesting to note, I'm pretty sure this is imported. There was a USA style nutrition info sticker hastily slapped onto the back.
