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.
Writer Craig Simons describes his trek up Japan's most famous—and tallest—mountain, including a stay at a traditional inn, complete with its own hot spring.

One of the nice things about green tea is that although drinking too little deprives you of its full health benefits, no one has ever reported that there's such a thing as drinking too much—that drinking more than a given amount is bad for you.
In contrast, there's recent research on sleep. First, researchers tell us that too little sleep is unhealthy. Now they're also saying that too much sleep is also unhealthy.
As in all things, grasshopper, the key is finding the right balance.
