La Vape Insulaire is a new brand from The Freaks Factory galaxy that offers us premium liquids in all taste categories. There will be some for everyone !

Comments on the packaging

… and a good trip often starts with an itinerary made on Waze or, the old-fashioned way, on a map.

That's pretty good, it appears, as well as the coordinates of the island, on the cardboard box of the packaging. All you need is a good sextant to navigate.

The concept is effective and necessarily exotic. The realization does not suffer from any defect. It's pretty, well drawn including the ingredients of the liquid. The color code, differentiating it from other destinations, is here a forest green which stands out against the parchment background of the box.

I will end with a flat and a sharp in order to harmonize the score.

The downside: It's great to show composition and disclaimers in multiple languages. It would be better if each language had its own paragraph. Mixing in sections makes the whole thing less readable.

The dièze: Mention very well for the cap of the bottle which ends in a rectangular tint, ideal for unscrewing without slipping. Cheer !

Comments on the taste of the juice

Here is a liquid that surprises and detonates in current production and it is a rare quality.

We have here, as the surname of the liquid suggested, a soft and sweet oriental green tea, which does not overlook a certain vegetable bitterness. A nice balance between gluttony and herbality which quickly becomes very pleasant on the palate.

The promised yuzu is also present and does not take long to develop its astringency. It blossoms quickly in the tea stream and imparts a citrus coloring to the overall flavor. More acidic and bitter than lemon, it perfectly counterbalances the sweet thickness and the greenness of the tea.

A touch of freshness makes the tasting quite recommendable in beautiful heat without ever being caricatural.

The recipe is held firmly and delivers sweetness, acidity, bitterness and gluttony with the same fervor.
