There's a quality to
five pawns that I can't quite put my finger on - the smooth clean burn, the pure blend (no single flavor jumps out at me), and the lack of aftertaste or residue on my tongue. It's just smooth and clean.
I'm finding the same thing with my AiV
juice, even the Twas Brillig which is one of their stronger flavors (Blackberry Crumble). It's making me wonder if maybe I should stop ordering all my MBV juices with an extra flavor shot. (Well except the butterscotch.)
My recent MBV order received yesterday contained a sample of Ocean Breeze as I requested and that's without the extra shot so I'll give it a whirl after it's steeped and see how I feel. I know the Strawberry Shortcake sample I received with my first order also didn't have the extra shot, at least I don't think it did since it didn't say so on the label, and I thought it was a bit mild and could use a bit more flavoring. So I guess I suppose it all depends on if it's a stronger or more mild flavor to begin with.
That said, I really get what you mean when you said the lack of aftertaste or residue on your tongue because I feel the very same way about my AiV juices. Since I recently purchased from them along with Ahlusion and Indigo though, and ended up caving in to the Halo order last night as well while their 20% off sale was still on, I don't think I'll be trying
five pawns anytime soon. At least not until after vacation. I have already been "spoken to" by hubby about all my spending. :\
PS shhh don't tell but i'm gonna try to sneak in that 2nd MBV order though (put on my credit card so hubby doesn't see) now that Cinnamon Roll is back in stock. Wonder what that would be like without the extra flavor shot. Hmmm...
