ORGANIC KUKICHA

DESCRIPTION

• Kukicha, also known as twig tea, is a traditional Japanese green tea made from the stems, stalks, and twigs of the tea plant. Unlike other green teas, kukicha has a unique flavor profile that is light and slightly sweet with a subtle earthy undertone.

• Kukicha translates to "Stem Tea" and is a green tea made from a blend of tea leaves and stems that are collected during the processing of Gyokuro. No part of the tea harvest is wasted. 

• This type of tea is often a byproduct of Sencha or Hojicha, but our variety is made from the same bushes and leaves used for Gyokuro, giving its flavor finesse and freshness.
