Suntory's Zen Green Tea is a distinctive Japanese liqueur that celebrates the country's ancient tea-drinking heritage. Crafted using premium green tea leaves sourced from the prestigious Uji region of Kyoto, which is famed for producing some of the world's finest matcha, this beverage represents a harmonious blend of traditional culture and modern craftsmanship. The production process involves a careful infusion of whole tea leaves, lemongrass, and select botanicals into a neutral spirit base, capturing the authentic, earthy, and subtly sweet essence of Japanese green tea. The result is a vibrant green liqueur with a complex aromatic profile that pays homage to the spirit of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Embracing a philosophy of harmony between Japanese nature and craftsmanship, Suntory produces elegant, terroir-driven red and white wines alongside its celebrated spirits portfolio. Today, their wine-making legacy spans from the slopes of Mount Fuji to prestigious estates in Bordeaux, reflecting an uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation.
