Throughout the 1,200-year history of green tea in Japan, major innovations have taken place at approximately 400-year intervals. These watershed events have contributed to green tea becoming an integral part of Japanese culture and everyday life in Japan. In the early 9th century, when Saicho and Kukai (Buddhist monks) returned to Japan after accompanying a Japanese envoy to Tang-dynasty China, they brought with them seeds of the tea plant. Around this time, Emperor Saga encouraged the growing of tea, and the custom of tea-drinking was adopted by Buddhist monks and the aristocratic classes. In 1985 ITO EN succeeded in developing the world's first ready-to-drink green tea beverage product despite a long-held assumption that this was technically impossible. ITO EN offered a new style for drinking green tea and made green tea an even more familiar part of everyday life.
