Selamlique Istanbul Turkish Coffee (4.40oz) Ultra Fine Ground (Rose)

strong coffee, fragrant, nice container

This was one of the most disappointing coffees I have tried. The flavor does not taste like a balanced Turkish coffee with mastic. Instead, it has an artificial, chemical-like taste with a persistent and unpleasant aftertaste that made it difficult to finish. At first, I thought the problem might just be my personal taste. However, I asked my son-in-law, who is practically a coffee connoisseur, to try it as well, and he had the exact same reaction. I also tried other flavors from the same brand, and unfortunately, the experience was similarly disappointing. Given that this brand is priced at nearly double the cost of many alternatives, I expected a much higher-quality product. Unfortunately, the taste did not justify the price. Since it cannot be returned, I ended up having to throw it away. I would not purchase it again.

Taste was not there.
