Kit Kat \u2013 Green Tea (matcha) BAR<\/strong>
\n Purchased: May 2010<\/strong>
\n Best Before: March 2011<\/strong>
\n Review Date: March 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like green tea. When it\u2019s prepared right it\u2019s calming, rich, and deep. It\u2019s mellow, you know, but there\u2019s so much more. Matcha is a specific kind of green tea, a finely ground or milled green tea, and it is often used to flavour mocha, noodles, and ice cream. It goes without saying that it is a very different experience to slowly sip a delicious cup of green tea than it is to eat a candy bar\u2014they\u2019re both good of course, but it\u2019d take some sort of mad genius to try to combine the two. Luckily, there is the Nestle Corporation, and their Kit Kats, and so we have green tea Kit Kats. This was picked up on my May 2010 trip to Japan and the green tea Kit Kats were everywhere, in Bar and regular form.<\/p>\n

Packaging:<\/strong> Great, like all of the Kit Kat bars. Big logo, a close-up illustration of the GREEN candy bar within (shocking!), and even a photograph of a cup of green tea, just in case you weren\u2019t getting it.<\/p>\n

Smell: <\/strong>It really, really smells like green tea. Right at the bottom there it smells like your typical sweet Kit Kat, but yeah, it smells great.<\/p>\n

Taste: <\/strong>Right away you get a taste of the matcha on your tongue, but it\u2019s like eating a Kit Kat made of green tea ice-cream, not actual green tea. I know, I know, it\u2019s a difference so subtle it might even be non-existent, and it might just be a the taste and the texture working together, but it tastes like green tea ice cream and not a steaming cup of green tea, as the packaging might imply. It\u2019s good though! It\u2019s less sweet than most of the Kit Kats I\u2019ve tried, but it still has the white chocolate\/candy base that most of the special Kit Kats do, and it doesn\u2019t 100% blend with the matcha flavour. I\u2019ve had better green tea candy before, and I green tea mochi is a more delicious snack for sure.<\/p>\n

Verdict: <\/strong>I\u2019d probably grab one of these from the store if a new Kit Kat I hadn\u2019t tried before wasn\u2019t available, but I also might just grab a bag of chips too.<\/p>\n
