I wanted to like this.

It sounds great: The perfect warm and homey breakfast for Fall. It even includes my favorite autumnal flavor, pecan.

Nasty.

The taste is somewhat bland, and it looks a mess (so no in-the-bowl picture). But the worst offense here is the smell.

It smells like pumpkin potpourri.

Seriously, there’s a cloying perfume to this that I can’t get past. It persists even after you add hot water. It just overpowers everything and likely affects the taste.

Just no.
