I ordered this (along with Tsunu Extra and Strong) as kind of a novelty, mostly interested in trying out the “flavor” and have been surprised to find it as my go-to hapé for the last couple of weeks. It has a very pleasant vanilla “flavor” that is all around soothing. I’ve found the respiratory benefits of the Piri Piri most noticeable in that it almost instantaneously loosens the tightness of my chest and lungs that I didn’t even realize I had. Really great stuff!
