Grrr.. brands that use accents in their product names! What’s wrong with ‘tea’? I have no idea where to find the accent on my keyboard so always have to go on the hunt on Google to cut and paste into the copy – also since nobody is likely to hunt out an accent to do a search it’s not that good for SEO. Mind you, I think Mint The Bath is a pretty good name! Anyway, there are two points to this post; firstly that the Bodhi & Birch Mint Thé Bath & Shower is delicious – not a sugar drenched minty version that makes you feel you’re steeping in a Polo mint, but a sharp, tangy mint that’s embracing and invigorating. For my taste, I like a little sugar on my mint, but for those who just want that natural, almost menthol mint scent, this is it.
The second point is that this is such a good example of how social media, and in particular, Periscope, can work so well for brands, used in the right way. I follow Bodhi & Birch founder, Elijah Choo, on Periscope and he’s taken viewers on a tour of his beautiful gardens, he’s commented, added hearts (the Persicope equivalent of ‘likes’), been supportive, open and kind – and when you get to see the person that’s so passionate about understanding and supporting others it makes you view their brand in a different light. So, what I feel right now about Bodhi & Birch is that it comes from a good place. Like me, it took him ages to show his face (very handsome) and work out the app, but he got there and I am an admirer of dogged determination.
The Bodhi & Birch Mint Thé is very much a unisex product – I think men and women would like this equally (Father’s Day coming up), and there’s no dry skin feeling after using. I’m not sporty, but if I was, it would be in my kit! Anyway, it’s £18 HERE.

I Love this product it’s really nice and doesn’t make my skin dry.
I’ve met Elijah and he is genuinely passionate about his products. I agree wholeheartedly with Jane – he is lovely man!
Oh I love this Shower gel and have reviewed it not so long ago…All the bath line created by Elijah is fantastic!
I know, don’t you hate it when you have to go hunting for the accent mark é. It really destroys the rhythm. That being said, even though I haven’t smelled it, it must smell divine and I wouldn’t mind a beverage flavored the same. I think Elijah should do some kind of health drink next. *hint*
I absolutely love this and find it so refreshing on a hot day or if I’ve got a headache x
Elijah is an absolute sweetheart! This is my favourite B&B product – and I’ve tried them all!
Sounds great. I love anything minty. (‘Thé’ is French for ‘tea’). 🙂
As for the accents, it’s just a question of knowing the right keystroke combinations. 🙂 To type an ‘é’ on a Mac, you can either hold down a vowel and select the accent/diacritical mark of your choice, or type Option+e+vowel. On Windows, you just use the Alt key, plus the number code. For example, the ‘é’ is Alt+0233.

Hope this helps. 🙂
thank you!
I don’t know if you have a MAC or Windows laptop/PC but if you use Windows go in to Accessories on the Start menu then in to System Tools and open Character map. That has all the accents you could need. Just select the one you want and copy and paste it into your document/blog post/twitter x
thank you .. very helpful (but I shall probably continue to leave them off!!) xx
