Great Eastern Sun originally came into being in 1981 as the
sales and distribution arm of the American Miso Company, the first American manufacturer of traditional Japanese miso. We remain the exclusive marketer, under our Miso Master® brand, for AMC products in North America.

In addition, Great Eastern Sun imports organic and premium quality, traditional products from the Mitoku Company in Japan. These are packaged in our production department under Emerald Cove and Emperor's Kitchen labels.

Over the years we at Great Eastern Sun have widened our perspective by developing other product lines. Our first was Sweet Cloud® Organic Brown Rice and Organic Barley Malt Syrup Sweeteners. Shortly thereafter we began to convert the premium Japanese tea we purchased from Mitoku into our Haiku® Organic Twig (Kukicha), Green (Sencha), and Roasted Green (Hojicha) Teabags. We next produced One World® Organic English Breakfast, Earl Grey,, Darjeeling Thunder Bolt, and Ceylon Highland Teabags.

Then came Sweet Cloud® Organic Raw Cane Sugar.

In late 1995 we turned a portion of our warehouse into a food processing facility, producing our first offerings from the GES experimental kitchen. Emerald Cove® Sesame Hijiki, Ginger Arame, and Spicy Kombu Sea Vegetable Salads!

Whether it be salt from Baja California and France, sugar from Paraguay and Brazil, tea from India, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania, sea vegetables from Japan, brown rice syrup from Belgium, or spearmint from Morocco, Great Eastern Sun is committed to combing the four quarters of the globe to bring you the finest organic food this planet has to offer, processed with the care and quality you have come to expect from GES.
