Raising the [SEN CHA] Bar, Pt. 3

Let's be honest...all bars are not created equal.
Let's be real...some bars are just glorified junk food.
And let's be fair...all bars deserve an honest representation. Below is a chart comparing various snack bar brands, including our very own SEN CHA Green Tea Bars. (Click on the chart for a larger size)
We know some of the above-mentioned qualities don't appeal to everyone, but we are also confident that our bars are a delightfully healthy treat to anyone who enjoys balanced nutrition in a tasty snack. Our antioxidant-rich bars are perfect on-the-go, after a workout, or anytime you feel like indulging in a gourmet treat.

But don't take our word for it...try the SEN CHA bars for yourself! A variety box of the three current flavors is a great place to start! Form your own opinions, make up your own mind, and we will remain confident that our SEN CHA products will snag a spot at the top of your list!

Raising the [SEN CHA] Bar, Pt. 2

Enough bragging. Let's talk quality!

In the previous post, we humbly mentioned some lovely things that others are saying about our SEN CHA Green Tea Bars. Tasters & reviewers seem to be quite fond of the flavors, but what about quality?
Lucky for you, we happen to take quality very seriously. Here at Sencha Naturals, we are very aware that consumers place an immense amount of trust in food companies to take precautionary measures when it comes to ingredients, allergens, and cross-contamination. We are also aware that a surprising number of other bar companies do not have transparency in their manufacturing practices, nor are they certain of raw material sources & processing methods.

This is quite unfortunate. Being that we are mindful of our own personal health, and that we share our products with our families & loved ones, we want to ensure that only the finest, safest ingredients are used. As mentioned in this post from August, we regularly conduct voluntary safety testing on our individual ingredients, to make certain that only the highest quality bar is passed on to our trusting consumers.

Full of organic ingredients & whole-grain goodness, each antioxidant-rich bar provides the polyphenol benefits of 3 cups worth of Fair Trade certified Green Tea.

For more about our safety measures & quality testing, please refer to this blog entry posted on T-Ching by SEN CHA's very own Desiree Thomas.

Raising the [SEN CHA] Bar, Pt. 1

When a delicious, nutritious, super-high quality bar is introduced on the market, how do you brag about it? And when this same bar wins the esteemed silver Sofi Award in the Outstanding Snack Food Category only a few months after its release, how can you credibly rave about it...especially if you happen to work for the company?
Our SEN CHA Green Tea Bars were created out of a desire to incorporate the countless health benefits of green tea into a convenient, super-tasty snack. We had not only health-focused consumers in mind, but also dedicated, fellow foodies who have a knack for all things gourmet & truly delectable.

Consisting primarily of organic pumpkin seeds, delicately sweet fruits, and whole grains that add a soft crunch, these fragrant SEN CHA bars are a nutritionally-balanced powerhouse of all-natural vegan ingredients, and provide green tea antioxidant benefits to boot.

But don't take our word for it! Here's what other people are saying about SEN CHA Bars:

"I've found the love of my life. I'm talking about my new favorite bar, the SEN CHA Green Tea Bars. As much as I love you, Luna, we're done. We'll stay friends but I'm going steady with Sen Cha now." ~It's Good To Me!

"A well-executed bar with great taste and nutrition." ~BarsAreFood, Product Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

"A tasty way to reap the health benefits of green tea." ~
American Salon

"This bar deserves space in your lunchbox...it's good & good for you!" ~
Regena Rafelson, T-Ching

Yoga, Freebies, and Some SEN CHA Style

As mentioned in this blog from a couple weeks ago, Sencha Naturals was glad to support Hillary Rubin with her local yoga DVD release party, held at the City Yoga studio in West Hollywood.

For the event, the yoga studio was set up with lovely pink lighting and projections of gorgeous flower on the wall:
The lovely Hillary Rubin...
Hillary demonstrates a yoga pose for the party guests: Desiree from Sencha Naturals stopped by the event to support Hillary & enlighten guests with free packettes of our SEN CHA Green Tea Mints. The hot pink ones on the far right are our newest--and very popular--Morning Lychee flavor. Guests who purchased Hillary's Yoga Foundations DVD were given a goodie bag filled with samples of eco-friendly products from various local and 'green' companies.Attendees were also entered into a raffle for all-natural skin care products, yoga clothing, mats, and other highly-coveted yoga & body products.
The eclectic gathering of guests was able to meet Hillary, mix & mingle over snacks & drinks, and leave with bags of free goodies! The event was a success, and it made for a very stylish Saturday evening...

SEN CHA Goes German!

Who says being green can't be trendy? The newly-released Design Ecology! book showcases several international 'green' companies and their innovative designs. Among them is yours truly, and we are quite honored to have been featured in this German publication.

Below, our Green Tea Bars are described as "Modern With Tradition."
The book also features our Green Tea Mints. And don't worry if you can't read the small text below...it's written in German either way! The page gives a background on our SEN CHA products, our company history, and the packaging design, for which we have humbly received quite a bit of praise. All of this information can also be viewed on our Sencha Naturals site.The book is currently only available in German, but be sure to pick up an English version if it is soon to be released. And from all of us at SEN CHA to the entire Design Ecology team...danke!
