You’re sitting on a glittering white sand beach, the warm island breezes tugging at the strands of your hair. The only sound you hear? Ocean waves lightly pounding the coast. You lift a glass to your mouth and gently pull the cool liquid through a straw. Tropical mango flavor invades your taste buds as a sigh escapes your lips. Pure bliss.
Ok, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be instantly transported to a Caribbean island, but with the light, refreshing flavors of green tea and mango combined, you’ll be as close to the tropics as possible! Kick off those flip-flops, slather on the sunscreen and enjoy your summer!
