My first batch (smells like popcorn)

It just tastes a bit odd is all. I got a response from the alchemists cupord which customer service wise wasnt great but basically is saying i need to steep it for longer.

Update on the batch:
The popcorn has mellowed, but i dont get alot of orange. From some reviews ive seen orange seems to be quite a difficult flavor to fet right.

Yeah, every orange I've has has been pretty gross. I quite like Unicorn Vomit by Flavour west though. Citrusy sherbet type thing.

Even the FA orange? To me that one's ok - as in an orange juice kinda way, not quite fresh fruit.

And not strictly orange I know but I like the Inawera bergamot (pretty spot-on taste, sharp with a slight bitter kick) and also the FA citrus mix.

Never tried the FA orange.

this is all subjective...but I bought some concentrates once labelled "carmel" which I thought was labelled "caramel".
now I have a few bottles of this, and you are welcome to it if you want (just pay postage), and they stink like popcorn

edit: its decadent vapors "carmel", which is meant to be a take on Camel i think. But if you stuck your hand into a packet of popcorn seeds and then smell it, that is what it smells like.

Carmel brought back some memories, just looked through the cupboard, I have some too along with 'Marlbury' & 'Virginian Gold' concentrates, need to have a clearout
