This is my official report on “FFG Tea” (special thanks to Viki R for bringing some for this review), a product consumed on Saturday, November 25 at approximately 12:30pm.
As you will note from the picture on the right,
FFG Tea is an odd orange color, inconsistent with many traditional teas. Also, unlike traditional tea, FFG Tea is a powder mix that is a 3-in-1 combo consisting of tea, cream, and sugar all contained in one, single-serving pouch.
FFG Tea resembles hot chocolate in many ways including consistency, best drinking temperature, and sweetness. Literally, the flavor is simply “tea flavored hot chocolate”.
It was quite good, worth a special trip by FFG’s parents, and the effort of writing a reimbursement check to FFG herself. Now that the poor girl is canned, and Jungle Jim’s has been verified to not carry the product (how is that possible?!) I’m frustrated because I’ll probably not have the opportunity to have it again and truly did like it.
Side note, while FFG Tea is not available at Jungle Jim’s, several other entertaining products were, including (all descriptions taken directly from the product description on the package):

Jungle Jim's should special order just about any product you request (at a price, of course); so if the cravings get too bad, you can still take care of them without the assistance of FFG
It's true, they do special order if there is something you can't find....at a price and in no guaranteed time limit....but they'll do it!
Martha - I'd decided to send you a packet of each kind of FFG tea (Sarah F needs to try and report on the peach kind without the cream already added). Would you still like me to do this so you can offer your expert opinion, or should I send Karen the kind she had since she liked it so much?
You guys have too much time on your hands! Thanks for the review anyways!
I have not had a chance to try my tea yet, but I will report on it as soon as I do. I was going to try it last night, but then I realized that the directions are not in english and didn't know how to make it!
Sarah, I think you just add it to water, probably 8 oz?
Oh, and Megan, we don't have too much time on our hands - usually it's not enough - but sometimes you just have to screw what you're supposed to be doing and do random fun stuff. :-)
CRACK me up! The tea does sound good!!
Becareful you don't get sick now that you've drinking FFG's special tea!
You guys are a riot. Jungle Jim's is awesome! It's been too long since we've made a few hour visit there. Guess we'll have to do that soon! They do have the largest selection of Hot Sauce!
Yes, lots is lost in the translation sometimes...
