Not the same taste as previously bought the past months. This time it doesn’t have the tangy taste of a tamarind or tastes like tamarind at all; it tastes nothing but a ball of sugar. Very very disappointing.
arlene.meehan
I ordered this several times before and today the product is very different . It does not taste the same and they are hard. I am extremely disappointed as i bought 5 packs. I loved the original version.

It’s okay from my perspective, taste is subjective so try it if you like tamarind.

This is my second time buying it. It's really delicious. I like to have one when I'm sleepy.
