Amai Tea Sweets are my latest sweet addiction — which doesn’t happen often, as I don’t have a sweet tooth. These cookies are made from all-natural ingredients, including high quality teas and spices, which is why they taste so fresh and delightful. The green tea and chai almond are two of my favorite flavors. While butter cookies can lean towards being a little heavy, Amai Tea Sweets are subtle in flavor and crumbly in texture, making for a light snack. Everything about these treats is just right, from the size of the cookies, the subtle flavors, and the beautiful hand-cut shapes to the packaging.
