Alright, let’s talk about them matcha green tea Oreos, you know, the cookies everyone’s yappin’ about. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, just a regular person who likes to eat, so I’m gonna tell ya what I think, plain and simple.

First off, what’s this “matcha” stuff anyway? They say it’s some kind of fancy green tea powder. Sounds like somethin’ them city folks drink, always lookin’ for somethin’ newfangled. But hey, I ain’t complainin’ if it tastes good. They say it’s got that, what they call it, “earthy” taste? And a little bit bitter, like when you accidentally bite into a lemon rind. But they mix it with sweet stuff, so it ain’t too bad.

Now, Oreos, them I know. Been eatin’ them since I was a kid. Chocolate cookies with that sweet creamy stuff in the middle. Can’t go wrong with that, right? But puttin’ this green tea powder in ’em, that’s a new one. I was a bit skeptical at first, I tell ya. Green tea and cookies? Sounded like mixin’ oil and water.

But I tried ’em, and you know what? They ain’t half bad. The matcha gives the cream a kinda different taste, not just plain sweet anymore. It’s got that little bit of bitterness they talked about, but it’s balanced out with the sweetness of the cookie and the cream. It’s kinda like…like when you eat somethin’ sweet and then drink a little bit of tea afterwards. It cleans your mouth out, you know? Makes you wanna eat another one.

Some folks, they like to get all fancy with their Oreos. I saw this thing online, they call it “Oreo Matcha.” Sounds complicated, but it ain’t really. They take some Oreos, crush ’em up, mix ’em with the matcha powder, a little bit of milk, and some vanilla stuff. Then they bake it in the oven. Seems like a lot of work to me. I’d rather just eat the cookies as they are, but hey, to each their own, right?

• What you need for fancy Oreo Matcha:
• Oreos
• Matcha powder
• Milk
• Vanilla extract

You just mix all that stuff together and bake it. But like I said, I ain’t got time for all that fuss. I’m happy with just grabbin’ a few Oreos and a glass of milk. That’s good enough for me.

And speakin’ of Oreos, they got all kinds of flavors now. Mint, chocolate, all sorts of stuff. You can even get them thin ones, if you don’t want too much cream. They even got ’em in big family-size packs, which is good if you got a bunch of grandkids comin’ over. Lord knows, them kids can eat a whole pack of Oreos in one sittin’!

But back to the matcha ones. I think they’re a nice change from the regular Oreos. They’re still sweet and chocolatey, but they got that little somethin’ extra, that green tea flavor, that makes ’em a little bit different. And they say this matcha stuff is good for ya, got them “antioxidants” or somethin’. I don’t know about all that, but if it tastes good and maybe it’s a little bit healthy, well, that’s a bonus, ain’t it?

So if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ a little different to try, go ahead and grab a pack of them matcha green tea Oreos. You might be surprised. They ain’t your grandma’s Oreos, that’s for sure. But they’re still pretty darn good. And if you don’t like ’em, well, you can always give ’em to the grandkids. They’ll eat just about anything, those little rascals.

In short, here’s the lowdown:

• Matcha green tea Oreos taste like regular Oreos with a bit of earthy, slightly bitter green tea flavor.
• Some folks make fancy recipes with them, but I just eat ’em straight from the pack.
• They’re a nice change from regular Oreos and might even be a little bit good for you.
• If you like Oreos and you like green tea, you’ll probably like these. If not, stick to the regular ones. Ain’t no shame in that.

That’s all I gotta say about these green tea cookies. Now go on and try ‘em yourself. And don’t forget to dunk ‘em in milk! That’s the best way to eat an Oreo, no matter what flavor it is.
