Kukicha - a.k.a. ‘twig tea’ - is a traditional Japanese tea variety made from the stems and stalks of the tea shrub, the same plant that green tea and black tea are made from (Camellia sinensis). After the twigs are pruned from the shrub, they are steamed and dried, then aged and gently roasted.
Why use Japanese tea? Tea is cultivated throughout Asia and each estate produces tea with its own unique characteristics.
We also offer tea products from Vietnam (Golden Green Tea™) and from Darjeeling, India (Organic Green Tea with Ginger).
How does it taste? Pleasantly rich, nutty and roasted; far less astringent than green tea. Serve with lemon, if desired.
