This is my first Camu Camu powder and I have therefore, unfortunately, no comparison. I got it only now and tasted directly. The color is pale brown, not orange, which I had read as often in descriptions, expected. In water with little carbonation stirred which takes some time, I drank the brown liquid. Fruity, again expected of me, it does not taste. As a slightly bitter, I would describe the taste and slightly "earthy". It did not hurt me and if it helps, I can only say in a few weeks. I've only just back a cold behind me, although I do so many things in so many ways for health. Using this natural vitamin C shock, I hope to be spared from the coming cold wave. The packaging no Suggested or dosage indicated by the way. Only here on Amazon on the product page.
