Green Tea Kit Kat

 “Have a break, have a Kit Kat!”

Since 1957, that’s been the marketing slogan for Kit Kat candy outside of the United States. It’s always printed on the product.

Check out the picture. That’s a box of Kit Kat’s new green tea confection (Macha Kit Kat). Each box contains two foil-wrapped packages of the wafer-filled candy/cookie, and aside from a slight green tea flavor – rather than the chocolate we’re all so familiar with – it tastes just like a Kit Kat. Sweet stuff. It was great with hot tea.

I just had to see if there was anything I could find about it on the Web. They are available only in Japan stores, but you can get them on the 'Net at eCrater (http://www.ecrater.com/p/9691735/japan-nestle-green-tea-kit). But be advised, the shipping costs twice as much as the candy itself, because in this case, it’s shipped from Taiwan.

My nephew’s mother-in-law sent the little box as a gift, using my sister as a courier.

How sweet of her.
