Japanese Tea Flavoured Kit Kat biscuits
To me, few things are more English than a cup of tea accompanied by a chocolate Kit Kat biscuit after a game of football on a rainy day, but in fact this is fusion food par excellence. Tea in Britain is usually drunk with milk and sometimes sugar in mugs more often than cups. The British prefer black tea to the green tea grown in Fujian province of China from where the word tea originates and where the best Chinese tea is grown.
Kit Kat is made by Swiss company Nestle which pays almost no UK tax.
Today I found a Japanese-style Kit-Kat for sale in Tokyo; it is green tea flavoured and green in colour.
The Japanese are known for studying and perfecting many Chinese customs, including the tea ceremony. I wonder whether they need any lessons in British tea drinking culture?
