**Acai (FLAVRZ) 5% / 7.5% (4-6-23)** -- Welcome to the FIRST flavor from FLVRZ, and a brand new flavor house for me. Let's get it on !!!!! Did you know that the [Acai berries](https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-acai-4707708) grow on a palm tree ?? I didn't. I've had acai juice a few times, and this flavor was pretty spot on for it. A darker berry flavor, with earthy undertones. And the earthy tones were good. Sweetness was authentically below mid-level sweet, and even when testing at two different levels, I got NO off-notes, florals, uglies. At 5% it was fairly full, but felt like it needed a little boost, so I upped it to 7.5% and it started to really come alive, with a much richer, darker, fuller profile. The berry notes were similar to a medley of a blueberry, with maybe some dark raspberry in there, but only similar, not identical, and it was a very unique fruit flavor. I don't typically use acai often, BUT, I think that might change. There was a really smooth" tartness to this one, and it really added some great authenticity, and a really nice finish to this flavor. Many times when I test darker berries, I can sometimes detect "florals" JUST lurking around the corner, but not here, so you might even be able to go a little higher if needed. You could boost the sweetness if needed, but as it stood, the lower than average sweetness, just plain worked. For a very unique, fresh, darker berry, with below average sweetness, with a super tarty finish, you WILL like this one. GREAT way to start off this series, and with no nit-pickings here, leaving this one high @ **9.7/10**."
