I love tamarind candy. these are the sweet ones, I don't like the spicy ones. these were just a little dry, not too badly. still tastes just like my childhood memories. hopefully I will get the kinda wet, chewy, and has a seed inside, those are truly the ones I love the most :)
Elba N Pagan
This either arrived damaged or I was sold the wrong thing because this doesn't taste like tamarind. The flavor is horrible, but that's not tamarind.
JoanneNoll
Taste to texture 10/10. Loved it. Reordered it right after I tried my first pack.
weee.15854515
I love the flavor of this tamarind, but the quality isn’t consistent. Every now and then I get a batch that’s fresh and delicious, but most of the time it’s hard and difficult to chew—like the one I recently purchased. I wish the quality were more reliable because I really enjoy the product when it’s fresh.

I just received so I don’t know the taste yet.
