Personal Recommendation

I spent three years in the Gunma region of Japan and during that time came to love green tea, the taste and the health and the art of it all. The drinking of tea in Japan was almost meditational, slowing down time, learning to appreciate the wonder of the world in the smallest sip.

It has been a struggle to find authentic green tea here in America. When I first drank Mellow Monk's teas it was like being transported back across the seas. It is authentic, and rightly so- produced on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan, grown by family-owned and -operated Eco-Farmers (Japan's designation for environmentally responsible farming).

This is absolutely delicious green tea. If you appreciate the subtleties of green tea, then you will fall in love with the Mellow Monk.

From the Mellow Monk's website, a little bit about this amazing tea:

This is our top-of-the-line honcha, or traditional green tea. Top Leaf tea is specially pampered in its own separate corner of the tea orchard. Not only does this tea receive extra fertilizer (organic, of course) during the growing season, but at harvest time, the growers pick only the top layer of young tea leaves. The result is a distinctive, more subtle, gentler flavor. This tea is always first flush.

You'll taste the TLC (Tender Loving Care) that goes into this special tea. Treat yourself to one of the best green teas in the Aso tea-growing region—Mellow Monk Top Leaf Green Tea.

Top Leaf Green Tea comes vacuum-sealed for freshness in foil packets. Each packet contains 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of tea, enough to make 40 to 50 cups of brewed tea.
