They are all infused with real green tea extract grown in Java, Indonesia.  Now, as an avid tea drinker, green tea just happens to be my favorite =D</p>
<p>This tea candy unfortunately doesn’t come in one bag with all three flavors, so I ended up buying three separate bags.  Each bag is about $2 and has 42 individually wrapped hard candies.  There is caffeine in each candy, but it only amounts to a mere 3 milligrams.  It would take you 20-25 pieces to equal one cup of coffee.  So those who need a quick caffeine fix, these tea candies are not the way to go.  Now on to how it actually tastes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-classic-iced-tea.jpg" rel="lightbox[1100]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-classic-iced-tea-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="balis best tea candy classic iced tea" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1108" /></a>I started with what sounded like the most basic flavor – the Classic Iced Tea.  Looking at the round, brown hard candy, I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  When I popped one into my mouth, I was happy to find that it tasted exactly like any typical iced tea you would order at a restaurant.  I usually like my iced tea without sugar, but Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea Candy comes already sweetened with sugar.  However, the sweetness of it does not take away from the delicious flavor of the tea.  Just like the flavor name, it merely tastes like classic iced tea.</p>
<p><strong>Classic Iced Tea -</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> 4 out of 5 stars</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-citric-green-tea.jpg" rel="lightbox[1100]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-citric-green-tea-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="balis best tea candy citric green tea" width="250" height="167" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1113" /></a>Now for the next flavor, the Citrus Green Tea.  This candy looks exactly like the last one, but green.  My first taste reminded me of lemon tea with honey.  I was disappointed to find that I could not distinguish the green tea flavor. To me, it tastes like Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea with a lemon flavor that I am not too fond of.  I would have much preferred a more pronounced green tea flavor without so much of the lemon taste.</p>
<p><strong>Citrus Green Tea -</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> 3 out of 5 stars</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-green-tea-latte.jpg" rel="lightbox[1100]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-green-tea-latte-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="balis best tea candy green tea latte" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1109" /></a>The last Bali’s Best Tea Candy is a greenish-brown, Green Tea Latte flavor.  Similar to real lattes, this Green Tea Latte candy contains milk.  Yet again, I could barely taste the green tea flavor after eating one.  Trying really hard to pick the green flavor out, the “so close, but yet so far” phrase comes to mind.  Regardless, I have to say the flavor is actually quite good.  Although it is a tea candy, it is a step away from tasting like coffee. </p>
<p><strong>Green Tea Latte -</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> 4 out of 5 stars</p>
<p>Bali’s Best Tea Candies are all pretty good.  If it were up to me, I’d leave the Classic Iced Tea flavor the way it is, but change the other two flavor names to Lemon Tea and Milk Tea.</p>

Made from the company <a href="http://www.rimann.com/">Rimann &#038; Associates</a>, the brand <em><a href="http://tea-room.stores.yahoo.net/index.html">The Tea Room</a></em> encompasses a wide range of tea infused organic chocolates. In this case, an organic milk chocolate bar infused with black masala chai tea.  When I first read “masala,” I thought of this Indian dish called chicken masala.  A quick search and I found that Masala Chai is translated in Hindi to “Spiced Tea.”  The spices are a combination of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, peppercorn and cloves.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-tea-room-organic-milk-chocolate-black-masala-chai-tea-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[1077]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-tea-room-organic-milk-chocolate-black-masala-chai-tea-2-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="the tea room organic milk chocolate black masala chai tea 2" width="250" height="167" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1091" /></a>The chocolate bar is in a gold wrapper and tucked into a purple box.  There is nothing really fancy about the chocolate bar itself.  No fancy decorations on the chocolate, just 15 segmented bars.  With my first bite, I mainly tasted really sweet milk chocolate and a hint of spices.  Somewhere within the hint of spices, I could taste cinnamon and chai tea.  One thing I disliked is the milk chocolate itself as it was really sweet and practically went to mush in my mouth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-tea-room-organic-milk-chocolate-black-masala-chai-tea-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[1077]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-tea-room-organic-milk-chocolate-black-masala-chai-tea-3-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="the tea room organic milk chocolate black masala chai tea 3" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1092" /></a>Overall, this is an okay bar of chocolate with a major plus for it being organic.  I would have opted for more of a pronounced Masala Chai flavor and maybe better quality chocolate.  I did, however, put the chocolate in the fridge and that seemed to help with the chocolate texture.  For the price of about $4, I would not buy this particular chocolate bar again, but I am interested in trying The Tea Room’s other organic tea-infused chocolate bars.</p>
