To be honest, I brought them all to see if it's good like the dragonfly sugar cane juice. Mild flavor in sugar water. It's not worth it for the taste or price. Better off buying fresh plants and making your own smoothie or drink.

I finished drinking it and then remembered. So I'm here to write a few lines of review for everyone. The taste is exactly like sugarcane juice in Vietnam. It smells like kumquat. When shipped, it's still frozen. But after leaving it out for a bit, it's delicious. The bottle is a bit small. Anyone who misses the taste of sugarcane juice in Vietnam should try buying it.
