Judge 1:
Stylish packaging that exudes nature. Unfortunately, there is only a little storytelling, even though there is a lot of opportunity for it, drawing on the nature and traditions of Lake Saimaa. Innovative, unique product. Great use of traditions and local ingredients. A very Finnish product. Licorice is a Finnish delicacy! The taste is dominated by tar, which is probably the intention. However, I would have liked the honey to have tasted more. Score: 53/60
Judge 2:
Otherwise, a great product, although I am not a tar fan, the taste is surprisingly pleasant. It suits many mouths. The design of the individual packaging +++, a big plus for the instructions and recycling label! Score: 54/60
Judge 3: A truly unique and high-quality product. The flavor is strong and will definitely be an unforgettable experience for those coming from foreign cultures. The packaging is easy to take with you in your luggage and you can prepare a drink in different ways once you arrive. The strong flavor will definitely divide opinions. Score: 42/60
