Organic Kukicha from Traditional Medicinals

Organic Kukicha

Green Tea by Traditional Medicinals

Kukicha – a.k.a. ‘twig tea’– is a traditional Japanese tea variety made from the stems and stalks of the tea shrub, the same plant that green tea and black tea are made from (Camellia sinensis). After the twigs are pruned from the shrub, they are steamed and dried, then aged and gently roasted. Organic Kukicha is pleasantly rich, nutty and roasted; far less astringent than green tea. Serve with lemon, if desired

Not a bad bagged tea. I did get the nutty, “twiggy” flavor of this tea.

i have a bit of a sweet tooth, so i definitely must have sugar and honey in this one, but when they combine with it’s roasted, earthy taste, wonderful….
