[By Nick, New for 2014] ‎I'm going to start this review off by saying that I'm not a fan of tea at all. Never have I liked it and I doubt that'll change anytime soon. All that said, when I heard Tea-rrific was making a limited edition toffee flavor, I knew I had to try it. It is currently a Whole Foods exclusive and lucky for me they were sampling it at my local Whole Foods a couple weeks ago.

Tea-rrific Chunky London Mist Ice Cream

Look, I had no intention of having ice cream for lunch yesterday, I just havent been in the right frame of mind for it lately. The plan was to go to whole foods, grab a few things for my son, and then grab one of those pre-assembled lunches they have with the rotisserie chicken, veggies, and mashed potatoes... but they were out! Ugggg.... but wait, seasonal stuff in the freezer aisle... and sales... and look, Tea-rrific is on sale!

What is Tea-rrific you ask? Well, it's tea infused ice cream out of Connecticut actually. I spied 3 of their flavors back in May and got some positive feedback about it on facebook. The problem was justifying $5.99 for a pint of something that I was afraid I would hate. I actually wound up talking with Mario (who I didn't realize was their president and founder) but I just couldn't mange to get to one of their free summer tastings.
