The Louisville Vegan Jerky Co.’s Maple Bacon flavored jerky is, I think, the first vegan jerky that I’ve had. For some reason, I decided on the Maple Bacon flavor. They had a good variety of options, but I went with the maple bacon… not sure why. It spoke to me, despite me not being that…

The Rave Apple is a new variety from the University of Minnesota that is grown/marketed by Stemlit (which is on the sticker!). It’s another child of the Honeycrisp apple. I almost need to tag my apple reviews based on if the apple is related to the Honeycrisp…anyway, I digress. Okay, I don’t digress because the…

The Green Dragon Pearls tea come in these large woven balls. Hence…pearls. The pearls are maybe the size of a quarter if it were a sphere. They are tightly put together and have a faint green/floral smell. Regardless of steeped too long or not, the tea is bitter. Really bitter at times. Even with that…

This Edmond Fallot Dijon Mustard is a product of France. I purchased it from the Mustard Museum in Wisconsin. It’s a stone ground mustard that has a consistent yellow texture. The label says that the grinding technique gives it its “distinct high quality and flavour”. I could be snarky and say “we’ll see about that”,…

The White Darjeeling Tea is actually a white tea unlike the White Monkey. And it’s a Darjeeling tea too. Crazy! The leaves are of a golden yellow-green mix. The flavor is mellow and not overpowering. Even after steeping it for awhile, it did not get bitter. It was a little savory-sweet at times. Not much…
