Green tea is something I cannot start my day without. I’ve been looking into companies that incorporate green tea in their products like T-Bar company. After long research, I finally came across SEN CHA Naturals.
SEN CHA products offer mints and bars that infuse green tea extract! They are tasty lil treats PLUS contain all the benefits of healthy green tea antioxidants. They are wheat & gluten free, organic, 100% vegan, kosher, and fair trade certified. The organic decaffeinated green tea within the products offer antioxidants.

These Green Tea Mints were so yummy! 3 mints equal 1 cup of Green tea! And because green tea inhibits bacteria, these mints freshen breath AND help inhibit the root causes of bad breath. They are all natural and contain NO artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or animal by-products. Flavors include Original, Delicate Pear, Lively Lemongrass, and Morning Lychee that just came out.

The Green Tea Bars are simply scrumptious! They are flavorful but light and clean. The bars are not overly sweet at all. The nuts and fruits and GREEN TEA flavor complement each other perfectly. All natural bar equals 3 cups of green tea! Flavors include Original, Lively Lemongrass, Delicate pear, and Morning Lychee (same as the mints!).

The Original Flavoris made up of lightly roasted organic brown rice, goji berries, nuts, and seeds. Infused green tea pairs so well with those ingredients.

Delicate Pear includes green tea extract, pears, dates, and plums. This one was a little bit sweeter than the original but I think that was due to dates. It was STILL perfectly light and yummy!

Lively Lemongrass uses glaced lemongrass, fresh ginger, and green tea. I LOVE lemon and this lived up to my expectation 100%!

Morning Lychee is an Asian inspired blend of sweet lychee with coconut pieces. To be honest, I didn’t quiet enjoy this one. Perhaps that’s because I don’t like coconut.

Overall, SEN CHA Naturals definitely gets a thumbs up from me. I adore their mints + bars.
