I was going to try this again today. Opened the bag and the smell was downright revolting. I couldn’t bring myself to try brewing another cup. To add insult to injury, just opening the bag got the oils on my fingers. I’ve washed my hands three times now and the smell is still overpowering. Coworkers are complaining.
This can’t be right. This does not smell like cinnamon and orange. Maybe cinnamon and orange that have gone rancid and chemically. People talk of sweetness. There is no sweetness here. I ordered from Amazon. I wonder if it were old stock. Maybe I’ll get a chance to get down to the market this summer. If so, I’ll give it another try then and see if there is a difference.
