Welcome to Mellow Monk®, a unique green tea purveyor.

We import award-winning single-estate Japanese green tea directly from traditional tea artisans.

On their estates in the pristine mountains of rural Kumamoto, Japan, these eco-responsible grower–artisans control every step of their teamaking, from planting and harvesting to packaging and shipping.

Small-batch harvesting seals in the green tea's fresh flavor and natural goodness.

Our green tea is prepared guricha style, for a bright, fresh flavor.

Our tea estates are certified under the Japanese government’s Eco Farmer Program. Mellow Monk® is also a certified green business. In keeping with our mission to support family-based agriculture, Mellow Monk is an avid supporter of Kiva.
