I'm so thankful for your green tea. It is the best green tea I have ever had, and I appreciate that it is sustainably grown as well. I purchased the Top Leaf green tea and have given samples to all my friends who drink green tea.It is amazing! I even use it in my miso soup! Thank you very much for the wonderful tea and the enjoyable blogs. I usually make a cup of your green tea or have a bowl of miso soup with your green tea in it and read your interesting and enjoyable blogs. Thank you very much!

Really enjoyed the Monks choice tea! No doubt one of the best mellow green teas I ever tried. I will be back for more. The shipping speed was very, very good.

I have tried the Top Leaf from Mellow Monk and it is the best Green Tea I ever tasted. It has a taste so refreshing and natural you feel like you just picked and dried the leaves yourself. I doubt it if I will ever buy tea from another source other than Mellow Monk. Also the internet site is very well done and includes very insightful background information on how the tea is grown and produced. Thank you to everyone involved in growing, manufacturing, and distributing this fine tea, you must all be honored.

A while ago I opened the top leaf. I've had many sessions of it up until now and have tweaked my parameters. My final assessment is that this is a very good tea. And one I'd buy again. Certainly very unique in terms of flavor profile amongst all the other Japanese green tea's I've tried. Very well balanced, flavorful, and original. I definitely like this stuff. Anyways, just passing on my assessment of your tea. I think you offer a very good opportunity for American tea drinkers.

The aroma of the dry leaf is mild and mellow, but carries with it the tantalizing tang noted in the previous post. This tang smell is exclusive to the leaf of guricha. The leaf is in amazing shape compared to the usual broken up sencha leaf. This shows that care really did go into the processing of this tea. [read more]
The Green Tea Review
I came across your blog awhile ago, and said that the next time I would buy tea online it would be from you. First off, I have loved reading your blog.
Second, I have bought green tea from Rishi tea, In Pursuit of Tea, and have bought maeda-en and ito-en teas. The Monk's choice that I just made a cup of trumps them all.
Thank you.

It's been awhile since I last placed and order with your company, and I must admit that's because I've been shopping around. You see, I am not a rich man. I, like many, have limited resources, and unfortunately this sad reality applies my tea budget as well. Consequently, I have been sampling a variety of less expensive green teas from 100s of other, less reputable sources only to ultimately find disappointment and low quality from these unnamed tea producers. I have yet to find a tea that can, in my opinion, equal the exquisite color, flavor, or aroma of your superlative green tea, and I have determined life is too short to continue looking. Sufficed to say, I'm back and I will never stray again. You have found a follower in me Mellow Monk, and after sampling the competition I will gladly pay the higher price to enjoy your most excellent product.

I’m always looking for green tea that brews into a
green liquor, so I was impressed by the color of the
infusion of the Shirarore and Top Leaf teas. . . . The
Top Leaf . . . has a clean, slightly grassy
(just fine, it’s tea) taste like no other Japanese tea
I have tried, but I don’t mind a stronger Japanese tea
if the leaves are lightly processed.

I just wanted to convey my sincere appreciation for your operation and your superlative tea. I corresponded with you several months ago per your request to explain my experience with Mellow Monk compared to other tea manufacturers. I am sorry if my information was unsatisfactory, but I would like to thank you for the opportunity to contribute my opinions. Your green teas continue to be a favorite of mine and are unmatched in quality and potency compared to any others I have come across. Good fortune to you and your company!
