I love Bobas Bounty...it does seem to have a different taste to different people...I have never tasted any raisin or fig in it...what I get is a light chocolatey, malty, slightly graham cracker taste with an undertone of smooth, light tobacco. Delicious....The first time i tried it, I didn't think it was all that great...not bad, but nothing special. I let it steep for 3 weeks and then revisited it....it was a big difference in taste after steeping. Like many other juices, some will love it, some will hate it...YMMV...
