Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £10 Tin Size: 125gOur Review: Bean peels...??? Crazy! The smell is savoury, like a curry plant rather than tea or even fruit...although there is a hint of citrusy sweetness buried deep, deep, deep underneath. The taste is very pumpkin-like, and strong on spice. So it definitely does what it says on the tin. But...is that a good thing?? It is so unusual, and not really the kind of thing you'd want to drink. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they ditched the fruit. It doesn't quite mix with the pumpkin. The taste is so strong that it slaps you in the face. It's sharp and tinged with artificial flavours. It's very rich and indulgent and not something you could drink every day. We ended up throwing it away (but keeping the beautiful tin!), because we could find no one who wanted to drink it. That said...it's so odd that someone out there might actually enjoy it in a way that we didn't. So it's not an avoid...but you have to be prepared for it.
