Hi! I had a chance to try the new COBA The Hojicha Bar.
So this bar kinda blew my mind. If you like not super sugary matcha latte...this really hits the spot. Its only 2 ingredients. Hojicha and white chocolate make up this little bar. I was a bit surprised by the flavor. On first appearance I thought it would taste like milk chocolate based on color but no...it is very green tea matcha forward. It is not bitter but also not super sweet. One bar is equivalent to one cup of tea. If you are watching carbs, this one bar has 7. This bar is 80 calories. If you are a fan of more traditional green tea matcha, this flavor profile gets it right in the first bite.
So I personally like it. Both of my daughters liked it. My oldest loves matcha latte. My youngest was a bit confused at first but then was like...oh I get it now.
Overall, Id probably purchase them depending on the price point. Im not a huge chocolate eater in general unless I get a craving for it occasionally and even then I go for sugar free things because im diabetic. These are not sugar free but also not super high in sugar for the size.
I like the clean ingredients. I like the simple packaging. Im glad I got to test these. This sample was provided to me via treat spot.
