Kukicha

Green Tea by Adagio Teas

Green tea from Japan that is an unusual combination of green leaves and thin white twigs. Twigs you say? Yes, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. A sweet infusion with herbal overtones and welcome hints of chestnuts. When feeling adventuresome, please give our ‘Kukicha Baton’ tea a try. And revel in its unique, playful taste.

This is a good tea, but nothing outstanding. 3 minutes puts it on the cusp of bitter. I only taste the hint of chestnuts as an aftertaste.

Brewed it with the Zarafina Teamaker on medium strength. Added a bit of honey. Mmmmm

I forgot I had a sampler tin of this! Love the roasty chestnut flavor. I need to get more into Japanese green teas that aren’t genmaicha or the matcha they serve at sushi places I go to.
