Our Organic Kukicha is from an area about 200 km southwest of Mount Fuji, in Shizuoka. It has a clean, refreshing, and somewhat nutty taste with a lightly roasted aroma.
| Kukicha means "stalk tea". It consists of stems and stalks discarded in the production of Matcha, Gyokuro, and Sencha teas. It has a lower caffeine content and a unique flavor that differs from other Japanese green teas. Kukicha is sweet and high in L- Theanine as well as a variety of minerals. |
