I have received 2 bags so far. The first one was delicious! This second bag, doesn't taste the same, nor smell the same. Possible I got a bad batch?

That's strange! I haven't had that experience - mine have all been good so far.

Yes me too, I wrote a review about it. The taste is terrible also. I had been buying from Amazon though so I am not sure why it is suddenly different.

My last bag had a different odor - I can't say it was a "plastic type odor" but definitely different than prior bags. The last bag also appeared much rougher - almost as if it had wood product in it.

I don't believe that you'd received a stale box of tea from the company. Have you even tasted the tea ? My box doesn't smell like fresh grass either. If your having trouble with the taste / smell what I do is place another flavored bag of tea in along side of the Oolong tea. You can also add some honey lemon or booze to perk up your tea drink. Its dealers choice for your own satisfaction. Be creative and enjoy :-)

The batch I just received has exp. date of Jan 31, 2015. I bought two so one I'm having now, the other's going into a secret stash for later!

The consistency seems the same but mine doesn't seem fresh. Has a sight odor to it that just doesn't seem right. I wouldn't buy again

I think they might be coming stale. I hadn't had this problem with the first 2 orders but since they have been exactly like you describe!

I would say yes you received a bad batch as mine has always been milky white. Great product though! Works great!!

I also just received my second bottle. They don't have any strong smell or taste, they are just like the first bottle. I think I would ask for a replacement if the smell/taste is that noticeably different, that doesn't sound right. The lot number on my bottle is 1708335 1236 and use by date is 03/2019. Hope that helps!

My box said the same thing. I don't know if you got a not so good batch or you're used to better hay. My comparison was to the large bags of hay from Kaytee.

yes, i have received some (in paper bags rather than an official outer wraper) that have sounded a little chunky, but brewed up well. also there were some that had little or not cider mix in the cup. not happy, but that does happen

If your talking about http://www.amazon.com/YumEarth-Organic-Candy-Drops-Freshest/dp/B001EO5LU0/ref=pd_sim_gro_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1S8AG46Y28TFPEPFH42Q then yes the flavors will vary as mentioned on the bag's picture. The flavors are delicious and tasty.

Hi ... Must have been a "Bad Batch!!" Did you check for continuity? Haven't tried mine - Yet!

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

I do not have a "correct" answer for this. I have not noticed much of a difference. However, perhaps it's just because it's a different batch.

When I first bought them about a year ago, they were great, delicious. I bought a few more in the springtime, and then my last recent order a couple of months ago, they were whitened, hardened, and did not have that fresh taste, sorry to say.

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.
