Only 27 servings, not 32 as stated on package
After seeing other reviews about the amount of servings being shorted, I took a standard measuring tablespoon and measured contents using a level tbsp (not rounded). It came out to 27 tbsp, not the 32 it claims on package. As for flavor, it's okay, I mostly taste the burdock root so if you've tried essiac tea that's what it tastes like. I wouldn't say it's worth $25 for flavor's sake. Haven't noticed any health affects other than something in it that acts like a diuretic, I don't appreciate having to pee all day. The package itself is like a flat pouch, it does not stand upright on end like the small coffee bags you use when grinding coffee in a store. Because of that you need to use two hands, one to hold the package and the other to scoop. If someone has poor coordination or impaired use of a hand you would need to pour into a different container. Since I read in the reviews that the price went up due to cost of biodegradable packaging, I think the style of bag needs to be reconsidered when making those decisions. My biggest complaint is that i paid for 32 servings and the bag only contained 27.
