If I remember correctly it was alright. Though I miss it. Not for the taste or anything, but because the first time I saw it was at T&T supermarket in toronto, and it was the only place I saw it until about 2 weeks after. T&T is this large asian grocery store chain in canada found in major cities (and surrounding areas). Its very nice and had a bakery and everything. Its not a dirty, small, stereotypical ethnic grocery that most of the local ones around boston are. Some of them are sizeable (though not nearly as large and they lack many of my favorite products I found there), but none of them look as nice as a normal grocery store. The T&T's looked anything but run down.
Ya, basically everytime someone mentions holiday spice I think of T&T, and everytime I think of that I think of Toronto. So it does make me miss something, but I guess its not actually the drink I'm missing.
I miss buying fresh steam buns. All I have now is frozen stuff around here. I used to buy a bag of about 20 for a $1 cad. I also will soon miss my fried udon w/ bbq sauce flavor. I used to eat those all the time. I bought about 15 packs when I left canada (each pack makes 2 meals), and only have 1 pack left now.
I think I went a little off topic.
