Kiyomi Koike is a Japanese immigrant and she became a proud US citizen more than a decade ago. She is the founder and owner of SEI MEE TEA, which offers quality organic Japanese green teas nationwide and internationally since 2004.

When her second child was born, her husband was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer while her father was in critical condition with lung cancer in Japan. Her father passed away six months after she was informed about his illness. Desperate to help her husband, Kiyomi researched intensively to find a better way of getting the health benefits of green tea.

Five years later, Kiyomi’s husband was cleared of cancer. Although skeptical at first, the oncologist told them, “I think you’re on to something here. Whatever you do, don’t stop drinking your green tea.”

Kiyomi and her husband knew it was their duty to share this good news with others who were battling cancer and other terrible diseases. Kiyomi's mission is to share her discoveries with American folks by offering the purest and simplest form of "Ground Green Tea".

When asked "why Green Tea," she answers, "Because Green Tea is the simplest and easiest addition anyone can make to his or her diet in order to improve health." She believes a small habitual change could lead to a significant outcome in a long run.

Green tea naturally contains caffeine. Kiyomi found the patented water-process decaf method removes caffeine but not antioxidants. She has contracted independently with an organic tea farm in Japan and offers water-process decaf green tea powder, using organic green tea leaves.

Kiyomi loves to hear from her happy customers more than anything else. Here's one of the wonderful messages she received recently:

"Thank you so very much!

Not only am I extremely thrilled to have won your survey giveaway, but I also received, from you, more information on a brewing question that I have had for years!

I now feel that I am more educated, and informed, on everything about green tea because of the educational series that you recently provided in the “Learn True Fact” series. It is so clear that the company really cares for its customer base, and truly believes in the integrity and quality of its product, and it comes through in everything that you do - right down to your packaging and shipping.

Your passion for how and why you started SEI MEE TEA comes through in every way and is aspiring!"

As Kiyomi is passionate about healthy foods that are easy to make and delicious, she also offers another tasty & healthy beverage to the American market: "Unforgettable" coffee alternative made with roasted brown rice, which is caffeine-free and gluten-free. Since Chef AJ included this unique product in her favorites, it became a staple for many American folks as well. Here's what one of the reviews says:

"I used to drink a lot of coffee. Had to give up caffeine. However, my wife saw Chef AJ recommend this product, so she ordered it. It is true. Made according to instructions, the drink is like the best cup of coffee I can get at Starbucks."
