I opened 3 different packs of mine bought a 3 different times and it went from 5.5 to 6.3. Obviously mine did not come from the same place.
I'm told when it's harvested makes a huge difference as well as where it's grown. Those are 2015 so they are the freshest yet. Mine is from the 2014 crop.

Someone else has already thought of this but, why aren't we charged by the percentage of alpha acid, similar to how we're charged more for a higher alcohol beer?
