Roasted Kukicha from New Mexico Tea Company

BTVSGal drank Roasted Kukicha by New Mexico Tea Company

Hmmm…I like it. The wet stems smell like a camp fire about to die out. I don’t drink a lot of green because some are too vegetal for me, but this is nice. Creamy and smooth tasting. It hits the back of the mouth nicely. I’m not sure I would buy more but it would mix well with juice or be a great night time tea before bed since it is low in caffeine.

Would love to try this iced…:)

Hi,
I would not drink this tea at end of day; I know it is low in caffeine because it says so. The roasted and nutty notes makes the tea come alive for me. So making it a morning and early afternoon tea.
I want to go so far and say in order to appreciate this tea think of the characteristics found in Assam and Darjeeling teas but then this is a tea that could be given to children I read somewhere; so making me weary in my comment on Assam and Darjeeling tea. And I must not forget that this is a green tea, a strong green tea; so what would it be like were it a black tea? Bouncy with a sugar rush hour surging onward.
I like this tea because it is a full-bodied kind of tea in that nothing is hidden. What you are smelling is what you are tasting.
