About Sei Mee Tea®

Sei Mee Tea®, a family business in rural Oregon, was created by its founder, Kiyomi Koike, from her desire to introduce the real, true story about green tea to American public.

Her passionate journey started when her husband, Bill, was diagnosed with cancer with only a 50% survival chance. That was 3 months after Kiyomi's second child was born, and her mother had just called her from Japan to say that her father was in bed dying of cancer. With her mind confused, Kiyomi needed to "do something" to keep her going.

Being a native Japanese, Kiyomi told Bill to drink 10 cups of freshly brewed green tea everyday-it was a well known fact in Japan that you need to drink 10 cups to get health benefits from brewed green tea. Bill was not fond of the flavor of the brewed green tea. He managed to gulp them down for her the first and the second day, and on the third day, he said, "I can't drink this anymore-I'd rather die." He was not smiling either.

Kiyomi was shocked to hear what her husband had to say, with her new born baby and a toddler in her arms. Desperate to help her husband survive cancer, she started to research about a better way to provide the medicinal healing properties of green tea.

Sei Mee Tea's signature product, Edible Green®, was found during her intensive research. Edible Green® is Sencha powder-easier to fix, not bitter, and much more beneficial. She found sencha powder has even more antioxidants and less caffeine than Matcha, Japanese tea ceremony tea. And, this Sencha powder, Edible Green®, comes from sustainable, organic tea growers in Japan who have put their strong faith in organic farming for more than 30 years. Their Sencha powder simply tasted better than any other green tea that she had tasted.

Bill said, "I can drink this," and he started to drink Edible Green® everyday. After 5 years passed by, his oncologist said to him, "You are clear--you don't have to come back to see me anymore, but DON'T STOP DRINKING EDIBLE GREEN®!"

Kiyomi's desire blossomed to that of sharing her discoveries and offering the purest and simplest form of ground green tea to the American public. Being an avid cook and a strong believer of "food is medicine," Kiyomi has a vision: Edible Green® will become a staple in the pantry of every household, not just as tea -- but also, as time goes on, as an "herb" for cooking -- in this great country.

The company name, Sei Mee Tea®, is pronounced "Say Me Tea." "Sei" in Kanji character means "pure," and "Mee" in Kanji character means "beauty." Sei Mee Tea's products are carefully selected to promote your health with pure, soothing, and powerful products--it's Sei Mee Tea's promise.
