Kung Fu Tea honey black tea with boba: Half a year ago, I posted a positive review of the newly opened Kung Fu Tea in Somerville (Davis Square), with particular praise for their boba. I've since returned several times and have found the quality has dropped significantly. For my last visit, I had half-sugar honey black tea, which was fine, but the boba was mushy and soft. As a result, I am removing my endorsement of KFT Davis. 2.5/5.0

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

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
