Description

Kukicha, also known as "twig tea," is a delightful Japanese green tea made from the stems, stalks, and twigs of the tea plant. Affectionately referred to as “bone tea” by Okutomi-san (the tea stems are often referred to as bones), the tea stems are collected and slowly roasted to the core until they turn white. This unique kukicha combined the aroma of roasted green tea with a delicate balance of sweet, grassy notes and a subtle, nutty undertone. The gentle infusion presents a pale yellow liquor with a naturally smooth and mellow flavor profile. With low caffeine levels, it is a perfect tea for any time of day.
