I'm guessing it's been compacted as much as possible to minimize any air exposure. I would expect when you open it, it will be easy enough to separate what you need. I ordered 2x 100g packs, so I will be testing the purity from the first bag, and making my final drinks with the second. The testing will let me see how easy it is to dissolve in water.
I'm still waiting on my DMC order, so it's exciting to hear you got yours! I'm curious how big the shipped package was, what it looked like, and what the sender details showed on the shipping label. I ask because I live with family and I hope to intercept the package before anyone else sees it, but I just want to know how "suspicious" it might look.
