Because I am a lemming and thought this would be awesome, I bought two boxes of this (Target isn’t super close to my house).
The dry bad smelled like a cookie with a little citrus rind on it, so far so good. It brewed up a sort of non color, maybe almost clear but with a hint of something. Pretty murky and not so appealing.
Hot, I smelled COCONUT Alarm bells! I went and double checked the ingredients. No coconut. Folks, I ate a mouthful of hidden coconut last weekend and thought my head was going to do the exorcist spin. YUCK. Anyway, I took the leap and drank some.
First sip I didn’t like it. What is that flavor…buttery, sort of vanilla, definitely sweet. Couldn’t place it.
Marshmallow? OK. Marshmallow and butter. Then I had it! You know when you make homemade krispy treats, and the first step is to melt the butter and add marshmallows? That’s exactly what this tastes like. It tastes much more like a krispy treat than the krispy treat tea I had once. I bet if you made this with some genmaicha it would be right there.
But anyway, while it wasn’t super bad, it wasn’t good either. I will probably try one more cup and use someone’s suggestion to leave the bag in there. But it definitely wasn’t a wow moment.

i would be surprised if you liked it after trying so many great teas
I think I have used 2 teabags for more flavor on this one. I’m surprised so many people think it’s good, lol
I bought this expecting to love it too and all I ever got from it was soggy crackers
My nephew loves this one….but we discovered it needs milk and sugar to bring out the sugar cookie flavor.
I didn’t pick it out before, but now that you mention it I definitely see the marshmallow in there. Wonder if it’s similar to 52’s Marshmallow Genmaicha?
Could be sentimental for some. Constant Comment will always have a place in my heart as it was the first loose tea I ever drank.
Did you do sugar? It’s right there in the name, this one needs sugar! :P Milk doesn’t hurt either.
