7-Select Green Tea with Citrus

We're still on a health kick here, and chose a premium "7-Select" Green Tea with Citrus to rinse down our first healthy lunch in ages. The packaging depicts tea leaves, oranges, and a clean look, along with the 7-Select branding that suggests a product for a discerning buyer.

The first taste, however, reveals sweetness on par with Kool-Aid and an artificial taste to match. This green tea must have been steeped in 100% pure corn syrup to be this sweet. Unless there is an unsweetened version, steer clear. 1/11

It's too bad this blog has languished for so long. Can I post as a guest contributor? I could display some of the exotic foods available at Korean 7-11s.

Hi there. I really enjoy your blog. I'm an American living in Japan, where 7-11 are as ubiquitous as earthquakes (we've been having them a couple of times a day lately). The 7-11s in Japan are particularly interesting, because the Japanese market runs off of novelty; there's always something fun, intriguing, or strange to try. Would you be interested in having me cover 7-11s in Japan for this blog?
