Mangoes are naturally high in zeaxanthin; an antioxidant that protects eye health. They are also packed with beta-carotene and vitamin C. These vitamins help to protect the immune system and encourage healthy skin.

You can drink Sencha Green Tea daily, ideally in the morning or early afternoon. Drinking it closer to bedtime is not advised due to the caffeine content.

Sencha contains less caffeine than coffee, however it does still contain enough caffeine to provide an energy boost. Caffeine is affected by growing and drying conditions. Because Sencha is not fermented, it tends to have less caffeine than black tea or oolong tea.

Sencha is a type of green tea, grown in the high hills of Japan. The leaves are heat treated with steam which helps to retain high levels of polyphenols; the factor offering the most therapeutic benefits.

Other green teas are usually fired or baked dry, which gives them a different flavour to the delicate Sencha.
