SEN CHA: Now Vegan Certified

It's official! SEN CHA Green Tea Mints & Bars are now certified vegan by the non-profit organization Vegan Action. For those unfamiliar with the term, it means our products contain no animal ingredients (dairy, eggs, honey, etc), nor are they tested on animals.Veganism is a lifestyle in which animal products are not eaten, worn, or used in everyday life. The diet consists of grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts & seeds, and plant-based oils. Clothing is not made of animal skins (fur, leather/suede, wool, down), and other products used in daily life do not contain animal ingredients.

Plant-based diets have been used for thousands of years as natural remedies for a great variety of illnesses, and medical studies have shown them to lower cholesterol, decrease high blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and many types of cancer.

The vegan lifestyle is beneficial not only for one's health, but also for the planet. It promotes biodiversity, preserves water, requires significantly fewer resources, reduces air pollution, promotes ethical standards of living, and prevents environmental depletion.
