Kit Kat time!

Hello, today we're talking Kit Kats!

It's a special day because I've passed the 40 mark on Kit Kats sampled!

First is Sweet Potato:



It's recommended that you bake this Kit Kat which I did but not before trying it pre-baked.  When baked it loses a lot of it sweet potato flavor for some odd reason as the sweet potato flavor was stronger before baking.  It was good baked though, so you can decide what to do with these if you can still find them.

Here is Premium Hazelnut:



Oh my was this delicious!  One of the most delicious Kit Kats I've ever had.  Even one of my coworkers was so surprised by how yummy this was.

Next, two special Kit Kits from the Chocolatory store in Tokyo Station which my wonderful husband bought for me.



Pictured you see Orange Cocktail Noir and Butter. 

Now the butter was good.  I'm not so sure it tasted like butter.  Maybe butter you've mixed with sugar when you're baking cookies or something.

The Orange Cocktail Noir had a very strong flavor, very strong orange and very strong dark.  It was okay, not my favorite.

Lipton Tea...

Hi folks!  I'm writing to you from a cold and rainy December day in Tokyo.  No worries though because it's my day off so I've got a heating pad on my back and I'm drinking hot tea and sitting under the covers.

Meanwhile, let's talk about some cold teas.

First, I tried White Peach Mix Tea:



It was okay.  I really felt that the grape flavor was way too overpowering.

Next is from the Premium Series.  Generally, I tend to dislike the Premium Series, but this one is an exception.  Chocolat Milk Tea:



If you really love tea forget it, this tastes exactly like chocolate milk although I read the ingredients, and it does have tea in it.  It's so yummy.  If you're in Japan now, pick this up for sure!
