Häagen-Dazs Goes Green With Tea Ice Cream


On a recent shopping trip to the market, I tried my "don't look at the ice cream case" manuever but I'm weak. A pint of Häagen-Dazs Green Tea ice cream caught my eye. The packaging is attractive, complete with the "limited edition" label adorning the lid. This product falls under the "must try" category simply based on the fact that it's green tea and made by Haagen-Dazs. I've tried a few green tea ice creams in my day and usually it's not something I go out of my way for because I've always thought them fairly bland. Well let me be among the first to say that this Green Tea ice cream is amazing. It's creamy and the taste of the tea—from Japanese Matcha green tea—really shines through. According to Häagen-Dazs's site, this flavor is the number one selling ice cream for the company in Japan, which is no surprise. This flavor will only be around until August so if you're into a fantastic dessert ice cream, grab a couple of pints of this green wonder. I'd tell you where I found mine but I want it all to myself.

Green tea ice cream is so good. So are lots of other Japanese Ice Creams. My favourite at the moment is Cherry Blossom ice cream.

Its nice to see the western world finally catch up with this flavor. I dont know why its taken so long to get here. I love green tea ice cream or just green tea in various sweets. Lets hope this spurs other companies to make green tea flavor as well.
