Toppo – Rich Matcha
I feel like I’ve slowed down on my Toppo hype train in the past while, and I chalk it up to the brand being less adventurous with new flavours. Even a lot of their seasonal…

Mintia – Pudding
Mintia is one of those long established brands that is not afraid to go for some weird, unexpected flavours. They also do a pretty solid job of replicated said strange and weird flavours, so it’s…

Meito – Alcoholic Assorted Chocolate
Chocolate and wine are an age old combination, but not one I’ve ever been crazy about. Sure I do a lot of reviews of those kinds of products, but it’s out of academic curiosity rather…
