Sei Mee Tea

Kiyomi Koike started Sei Mee Tea as a family business in 2004 (it’s pronounced “say-me-tea” and means “pure beauty” in Japanese). Her passionate journey started when her husband was diagnosed with cancer. She began experimenting with green tea, and was thrilled when he was declared “cancer-free” five years later. Sei Mee Tea’s all-woman staff takes pride and joy in helping their customers achieve their health goals holistically.

Sei Mee Tea imports green tea from Japan. Japanese Green Tea uses the steaming method to stop oxidation after tea leaves are harvested. The steaming method preserves more catechins in tea leaves (research suggests that catechins like EGCG may play a role in protecting human cells from damage and preventing disease), and produces fresher and more flavorful green tea.
