bought this today
finally got a chance to go to Trader Joe's after the dentist today. I've been wanting to try this since I read through this thread and the links. I was expecting to either be mortified or delighted based upon the extreme reviews. Overall I have to say that it is extremely underwhelming. I don't get the nuanced hints of this or that. Certainly not roses. Closer maybe to steak and potatoes...
Maybe I got the Chinese fake stuff but it tastes like honey flavored syrup and not even good honey flavor and the viscosity is thin, more like a syrup than honey. I don't hate it but it would probably be my second to last choice in all the honey I've ever had. I also buy honey for medicinal / health purposes and I suspect there would be no benefit here. It just has an artificial quality to it. It only lists one ingredient: Honey but I suspect that this is a liberal interpretation.
