nutritious junk

Green tea is uber trendy right now. Monks from Tibet like it, its in all these engergy drinks, nutritionists all around boast its healhful benefits, its in GUM form even! And even in .....MINTS! now, to be honest, i would like to love green tea, but its a little harsh without sweetner, so getting my daily green tea quota is a bit difficult for me. Sencha Green Tea Mints claim that a mere 3 mints equal 1 cup of green tea! ok, so i gave these mints a try. I tried the delicate pear flavor and it was nice and well....delicate. Its sugar free so its ok on your teeth, and there was no nutrtion facts on the tin, so i am asuming they aren't heavily caloric either. The taste is just right, not "minty" but hints of green tea flavor with a pear-ish undertone and a slight sweetness. Its refreshing, but not like an altoid or your conventional mint. They also look really chic so you can offer it to someone you want to impress. Yay, i no longer have to down tea i dont care much for!
