The mission of Mellow Monk Green Tea is to provide our customers with green tea grown and processed by family-owned and -operated farms in Japan. This blog is a forum for presenting not just information about our green tea and our growers, but also topics related to this mission, including green tea in general, health and wellness, and philosophies conducive to living a mellow life. This blog also covers Japan: the people, the culture, and all things Japanese.
The author of Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat cites green tea as one of the seven pillars of Japanese cooking.

"Sasuke," by the way, is a reference to legendary ninja Sarutobi Sasuke, the subject of numerous ninja movies, TV shows, and anime.
But this modern-day ninja is for real!
