Mmm, cereal-y

New tea today.

Citron Green

Pretty, isn't it. Has bits of fruit in it, too.

So, I really like jasmine-flavored green tea. Not so much on the cherry (though I hold out hope because Den's cherry rose tea is supposed to rock). This one kind of falls in the middle. I don't hate it so much I'm unwilling to inflict it on another person (like the cherry tea I had last week or so), but I don't like it enough to keep it and drink it.

Why? Because this is what it tastes like:

Seriously, it tastes likes Fruity Pebbles. It took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of, all I could think of was "cereal", but then it hit me. A few minutes later, Dan pulled up in the drive. I had to run out and have him try some. He tried a little and then I said, "Think cereal." His immediate response: "Froot Loops!"

I can't get over the fact that this tea tastes like a fruity kids' cereal. I mean exactly like. DISTURBINGLY like. Now, I like Fruity Pebbles. Okay, okay. I love them. I can't buy any because it is entirely possible that I will eat the whole box in a day. Really.

But a tea that tastes like it? Just too freaky for me.
