The powder seems very beneficial, but the smell and taste are extremely strong when mixed in water. I wasn’t sure how much to use because there were no instructions, so I tried 2 tablespoons in 8 oz of water and it was too intense. I later learned that using a much smaller amount (½–1 tablespoon) in hot coffee works much better and hides the taste. I appreciate the quality, but clearer serving instructions would really help.
