Kit Kat Green Tea

My friend arrived from Sapporo and she gifted me with a unique treat from Nestle.  One usually associates Kit Kat with chocolates, but in this case, I didn't even sense the chocolate flavor in the coating.  The wafer coating is green tea paste, quite unique in taste and texture (I found it a little grainy, which was exciting to the tongue).  And yes, to balance it all, the inside has a thin chocolate filling for the chocolate purist.  I understand that Kit-Kat was originally produced by Rowntree (England) in 1912 and the brand was essentially a chocolate coated crisp wafer.  In 1970, Hershey acquired the rights to produce the candy bar in the United States.  What is unique about the product is that since Nestle acquired Rowntree in 1988, the whole world knows that Kit-Kat is produced by Nestle, but in the United States, the brand is produced by its competitor.  Nestle has experimented with a lot of flavors like orange, peanut butter, white chocolate and hazelnut (usually labelled as limited or special editions), and this has done much to generate continued excitement in the confectionery market.  I lIke it!  Have a break, have a Kit-Kat!
