Chin Chin grass jelly drink: I'm a big fan of gelatin in drinks, from boba to grass jelly. For those who haven't had grass jelly before, it's not chewy like boba but soft (it's less firm than jello). Unfortunately, the drink overall is too sweet, though the grass jelly adds a slightly medicinal flavor that cuts through. Because the jelly settles to the bottom of the can, much goes to waste after the liquid runs out. A good companion, though, to spiced Asian food. 3.0/5.0

Luke's Lobster blueberry lemonade with honey: Prominent honey flavor, moderate acidity level. Berry flavor is mild. Overall, a decent drink, though the result is not more than the sum of its parts. 3.0/5.0

Purity Organic honey green tea: A simple tea that is refreshing chilled but overly sweet for my taste (17g sugar per serving). Similar overall to the Honest Tea equivalent. Transparent list of wholesome ingredients. 3.0/5.0

Marusan sesame honey soymilk: Taste is reminiscent of black sesame porridge you can buy in powder packets. All three flavors are present (black sesame, honey, and soymilk) but fail to work together. Very sweet, strange flavor overall. Not recommended. 1.5/5.0

Trader Joe's honey Greek yogurt: Like other TJ's non-fat Greek yogurts I've had, this one is on the thin side. But unlike other honey-flavored yogurt I've had more generally, TJ's does a good job balancing sweet and tart. A pretty good value and decent snack. 3.0/5.0

Taim pomegranate honey iced tea: Sharp, acidic flavor that also manages to be overly sweet. Out of balance. A shame, because I like most other things from Taim. 2.0/5.0
