Kikkoman Pearl Organic Green Tea Soy Milk – Tea Review

  By ,

I crashed my local Asian supermarket not too long ago and raided it for all the tea goodies and cheap vegetables. To my surprise, I spotted this and had to try it – Kikkoman Pearl Organic Green Tea Soy milk, for tea lovers! I found this on the shelf as this is the type of soy milk that doesn’t need to be refrigerated unless it is opened. The packaging looks nice, though I’m confused why there’s a lemon in it. Nutrition stats are pretty standard soy milk ones. To premise this review, I regularly drink soy milk. Soy juice (what my… Continue reading, hoot!

Kyobancha Green Tea from M&K’s Tea Co – Tea Review

  By ,

Hello Kyobancha! This organic roasted Japanese green tea is sold by M&Ks Tea Co. It is the March 2014 harvest from the Nakai Seichajo tea farm in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture Japan. Despite being on a Japanese Monthly tea club a year or so back, I haven’t had a kyobancha before. With that said, I am not able to compare whether this is an awesome kyobancha or not. All my other M&K teas are samples, but this one is a full size and it has really fun packaging! I almost don’t want to put it in a tin!   Dry Leaf… Continue reading, hoot!
