While I was out Christmas shopping some weeks ago, I came across some interesting new tea cookies, and they are "tea cookies" in the most literal sense, since whole tea leaves are in the cookies.
J&M, or Janis and Melanie, makes these Green Tea with Black Cherry tea cookies, bite-size treats in a nice package, kept fresh by the foil bag inside. The flavor is - how do I say this? - "different." They're not horrible, but they're certainly not the best I've ever had either. I was expecting more cherry and less green tea, and the green tea flavor definitely dominates. Perhaps they simply paled in comparison to all the rich, delicious cakes and pies I had over Christmas?
I found this package at Filene's in Atlanta. It was $4.99 (said to retail for $7.50), and I'd love to know if anyone else has tried these cookies. If so, what did you think? Do you like the idea of eating tea leaves in your cookies?

I've not had these but they do sound "interesting"! I will keep an eye out.
I once made shortbread with green tea. It was good - also "interesting".
