For me it is the best licorice made by Haribo. The "Kati Nchen" are not too sweet and not too strong-just right. I noticed, however, that the "Kati Nchen" from bag to bag are different. Sometimes they are quite strong and sometimes soft. Why is that I can not say, at best before date it is not.
On the palate, the liquorice taste unfolds only really, if you can melt a lot of Kati Nchen on the tongue. Chewed be the liquorice stick liquorice particles between teeth.
