Organic Kukicha

Green Tea by Imperial Tea Garden

Kukicha is a traditional beverage in Japan that is made from the roasted stems
and leaves of the tea plant (Camellia Sinensis). Stems and leaves are
harvested in late fall from carefully selected aged plants and dry roasted in
giant cast iron caldrons. This process delivers a rich roasted flavor and
aroma. Our Kukicha is certified organic and is much lower in caffeine than
tea leaves and buds because it is comprised of mainly twigs and stems.
Kukicha is also perfect for blending with any of our black, green or oolong
teas for an interesting twist.

Smells like twigs
Tastes like roasted nuts of some sort.
If you aren’t sure about Kukicha’s – give this one a whirl…it’s pretty good.

This is a really good Kukicha, I love the level of roasted flavor to this – so delicious and toasty. Nutty and sweet.

Thank you, TeaEqualsBliss for sending some of this Kukicha my way!
