Green Tea Kit Kat

Green Tea Kit KatWe've been told of the health benefits of green tea, and even the benefits from dark chocolate. Spotted in Japan earlier this year was a KitKat - Green Tea flavor. The chocolate bars are a bright green color - but to the disappointment of many - are only a limited edition.

This ain't no health bar - kitkats are mostly sugar.

The green tea kit kat rates alongside other such food oddities as chocolate-flavored cheese.

That's right. They are mostly sugar. I tried this green tee bar and never want it again. Once is enough. Actually, more than enough.

i just bought this in tokyo and shared w/some friends back in CA. I love this stuff, not for the health factor of course, just because it's such a good flavor! but i'll be running out of it soon... where can i get some more of this stuff???

It's not really an oddity. Green tea flavored confectionaries can be found all over Japan. I've had this Kit-Kat, and it actually tastes really good; much better than any chocolate bar that comes out of North America.

But I agree, it's not a healthy bar. It uses a simulated matcha (green tea) flavor, so the health benefits of the tea are not present. It's just another flavor in Japan, just like orange, coffee, or vanilla here. It's just different cultures. But North America is starting to catch on, even Starbucks is offering a green tea frappucino.

As a drinker of green tea, I personally think it's hardly the most flavorsome of drinks. Maybe I've got a poor palate - but it still seems odd to me to give things a flavor of green tea.

It sounds interesting, that's for sure. But if I'm going to eat a candy bar, it's going to be made of chocolate!

i drink green tea too, but i always add lemon and drink it iced, because plain green tea is nasty as hell.

i once made the mistake of buying green tea flavoured gelato....it tasted like mashed grasshoppers.

I'm a pretty picky person when it comes to food and hesitant to try something odd like this when it comes to sweets. my friend convinced me to try this when i was in japan last year. hands down, one of my favorite sweets now. i agree with other readers - green tea does not taste good, but this candy is a treat. kit kat got it right with this confection. now, if they would release this stateside!

Oh my - whenever anyone asks what my favorite food is, I always jokingly say Chocolate, cheese, or even chocolate covered cheese!

I didn't know you could actually get something like that! It doesn't surprise me though, as I know people that make *and* swear by the goodness of Velveeta Fudge. I can't say I've tried it though...

The Green Tea Kit Kats sound intriguing. No offence, but I think it'll be a while before I try the Velveeta Fudge!

oh wow, you've tried mashed grasshoppers? because if I were you, I think I would plain green tea over that.

no one drinks iced green tea....I guess it's only reserved for grasshopper eaters

They taste sublime. Tried them on a recent trip to Kyoto. Creamy and rich. They make no claim to be healthy and, in my opinion, are worth every calorie :)
