This Ain't Barry's - The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Collection

This Ain't Barry's - The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Collection
By Miriam Burke  | Mar 6, 2015

It's a well known fact that green tea is great for you. It's full of antioxidants that has heaps of benefits and I should be drinking more of it. It was my New Year's Resolution to swap coffee for the green goodness but it's March now and I just can't turn off the Nespresso machine. 

Thanks to The Body Shop I can just apply it directly to my skin instead. Hurrah!

The Body Shop have launched a brand new collection based on, you guessed it, green tea. Coming from the Mount Fuji region of Japan, tea shoots full of antioxidant power have been hand-picked, if you don't mind, and infused into the body products. 


Japanese women have been using green tea in their skincare regimes for years, to help retain moisture and tighten pores. We know that the Japanese are serious about their beauty so we are well on board with this.

The Fuji Green Tea Collection contains:

  • Exfoliating Soap               
  • Body Butter                       
  • Body Scrub                       
  • Body Sorbet                      
  • Body Lotion                       
  • Body Wash                       
  • Eau de Cologne               
  • Bath Tea                           
  • Bath Infuser

We got our hands on a few of the items and we have good things to report.

First of all, the packaging is gorgeous; the green theme is present throughout and the packing and products are a lovely mint shade. Mother's Day is on our minds and we think that a few of these goodies would make a lovely present. 

The scent is divine - sharp and sweet at the same time, and really refreshing. There's a real spa essence to the collection. 

A particular favourite of ours is the Body Scrub.

It looks and feels divine. 

Another lovely touch is the bath tea, which comes is a gorgeous tin container and with a dinky little bath tea infuser. Yes, it's a tad gimmicky but also indulgent and perfect for creating your home spa. 

The green tea scent is so refreshing and The Body Shop has bottled it in an Eau de Cologne. It's way stronger than I thought it would be but it calms down after a short while and I really like it!

I must say I'm won over by this collection. It's the first time in a while I'd like to really smell like a Body Shop product! I want to use all of the products at the same time. Delicious, refreshing, clean. Yum.

Do you drink green tea? Would you like to, like, wear it?
