Trader Joe's Ube Tea Cookies Review

He (Mark) says:

These bite-sized treats would indeed be excellent with hot or cold tea.  The suggested serving size of 5 pieces seemed just right.  They are full of flavor and have plenty of flavor.  A pleasant surprise for something so small. 

Overall rating: 4 of 5 stars

She (Bridget) says: These...are not my journey. (As the kids say. Do the kids say that?) Anyhoo, I don't like these. They're sickeningly sweet, maybe to make up for the purple yam flavor? After eating, I was left with a strange aftertaste. Also, the powdered sugar coating gets very slimy. Not my favorite.
