Tea
is known to have many health benefits, from combating
heart disease and lowering cholesterol to staving off
several types of cancer. Less known is its ability to
suppress the root causes of bad breath. David Kerdoon,
founder of Sencha Naturals Green Tea Mints, has figured
out how to give people the benefits of a fresh mouth via
the help of tea without involving any brewing or mug-holding.
His
Sencha (a popular Japanese green tea) mints come in three
different flavors: Delicate Pear, Lively Lemongrass and
Original. They are made with organic tea extract and other
natural ingredients like sweet fennel, pear extract, fresh
ginger root and tea tree oil. Don’t expect the strong
minty burst of the usual breath fresheners—the flavor
comes in waves of subtle sweetness in the Delicate Pear
and pleasant hints of tartness in the Lively Lemongrass.
Three loose-leaf mints is equivalent to drinking one cup
of green tea. And when they say loose leaf, they mean
it. Each mint is shaped like a leaf, with lines etched
into each one—a tiny detail sure to make any tea
aficionado smile. The mints cost $3.95 and come packaged
in a reusable case.
