Mellow Monk Releases Two New Green TeasBlissful Buds and Shaded Leaf

Mellow Monk's174; is proud to announce two new additions to its lineup of family-farm green tea: Blissful Buds's8482; and Shaded Leaf's8482;.

Blissful Buds's8482; is a mecha (bud tea), made from only the most tender young buds. This is the same kind of premium tea served at the best sushi restaurants. The full-bodied flavor of Blissful Buds's8482; makes it the perfect tea for post-meal palate cleansing or for any time of the day.

Shaded Leaf's8482; is Mellow Monk'ss most premium tea ever: Three weeks before harvest, our growers shade these pampered tea plants with special woven covers. By blocking out just enough sunlight, this shading produces a simply exquisite flavor (by stopping the leaves from baking in the sun) and also stimulates the leaves to produce even more super-healthful catechins, including EGCG.

These two new teas were discovered during a recent tea-buying trip to rural Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan'ss four main islands. This expedition was documented by a film crew from Europe'ss Arte.tv network, which will release a 1-hour feature in January 2009 titled Kyushu--Wo Japans Gr's252;ner Tee W's228;chst (Kyushu--Where Japan Grows Its Tea).

Like the rest of Mellow Monk'ss lineup, both Blissful Buds's8482; and Shaded Leaf's8482; are single-estate, unblended teas imported directly from family farms on Kyushu. These farms are family owned and operated: The growers own the land they work, and they work the land themselves. All of Mellow Monk'ss growers are certified eco-friendly under the Japanese government'ss Eco Farmer Program.
