Haven't had them myself. But enough of my in service friends have so I've
heard the basic recipie.

Take the crackers, chocolate, sugar, coffee and I think hot cocoa mix from
your MRE's, mix them together and you can bake them up as a really tasty
brownie that is very useful on patrols or marches for energy and keeping you
alert.

Ranger coffee works out somewhat similarly. Sort of a Field Expedient double
Mocha I guess...

Its Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl iirc. They aren't leaves, they are
little jasmine flower buds. The $8/2 ounces type jasmine they have is
much larger and more mature Jasmine flowers (a single one works for a cup or
three of tea). Another Single Estate iirc. I haven't had the
Gyokuro Imperial at $15.00/ ounces. Then there's a really expensive
Oolong tea that this store has, Silver Needle at $18.00 per 2 ounces!

The Temple of Heaven Gunpowder tea is quite tasty as is their Rooibos (South
African tea)
