\nHere is the second flavor of Sequoia, the first being strawberry<\/a> from a few weeks ago. Today? Green tea. Strange looking green tea too…it’s sort of pea soup colored. Yeah that is, for once, not a product of my poor photography skills but rather actually green pea soupy green. Hrrrmmmm…<\/p>\n

Green tea, I do not much care for it so I like to farm out my green tea snack foods to people who are more enamored of the flavor. This ensures that all green tea reviews aren’t “Hated it. 1 pea rating!”, unless they truly deserve it. So, when My Favorite Guinea Pig went off to work, I loaded down his pockets with a couple Green Tea Sequoias to hand out to his coworkers. What came back was:<\/p>\n

It goes through many flavors \u00e2\u20ac\u201c kind of like some sort of Willy Wonka candy.
\nUnexpectedly creamy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the texture is good
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not too sweet, a hint of lemon.
\nSadly, a bit chemical and with a bitter aftertaste.<\/em><\/p>\n

By golly, his coworkers are right! I should hand over the Review to them since these Green Tea Sequoias start out sweet, then there is a little milky, some crunchity wafer cookie, bitter green tea and then a light aftertaste of chemical labby. It’s kinda cool, actually, the taste metamorphoses these go through, although I could do without the chemical after taste. And the green tea if we’re splitting taste hairs. I do quite like the smooth creamy green tea coating in contrast with the crunchy wafers, it’s like a Kit Kat but oddly better (the crunch vs. coating factor, not the chocolate versus green tea factor). I also think the sweet and the green tea bitter are playing very nice with each other and even the milky is harmonious with the whole kit and caboodle. This is a very nicely constructed candy\/snack and on the whole there were more pea points given for the various flavors and their compatibility than taken away for the chemicalness and its lingeration.<\/p>\n

I don’t know as I’d go back for seconds in the great JSF infinite buffet but I’d certainly pick up some Green Tea Sequoias once and enjoy them as much as a green tea dissenter can. That’s gotta count for at least an average pea rating plus a little extra for a nicely done snack. You know what else Sequoia is going to do for the JSFR? I think it’s going to give me a poke and whisper that I ought to add a Green Tea category on the side there. You are absolutely right, Green Tea Sequoia, have a<\/p>\n

Rating<\/a> of 3.5 wasabi peas<\/strong> out of a possible 5 wasabi peas and a new category too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,34,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-35-peas","category-grean-tea","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
