Macha Oreos

When I was kid, my mom refused to buy Oreos. So for a long time I was obsessed with them. Now I realize they are kind of gross and never buy them.

Except.

I can’t resist trying them any time I see a variation on the original. Usually the only difference is food coloring. But these Oreos I bought in China were green tea flavored. Macha doesn’t sound like a good match for the flavors of Oreo, and it isn’t, really. The chocolate cookie overwhelms the tea flavor, which doesn’t quite cut the extreme sweetness of the filling.

What I like best about these Oreos is actually the label. To me, they were tea flavored. But to the Chinese, apparently, they are ice cream flavored. Because of course ice cream tastes like tea?
