Kukicha Tea
Japanese teas are always a surprise. Kukicha is one of those surprises. Nothing is wasted in the processing of this precious drink. It is a uniquely Japanese invention. Kuki means stem and cha means tea. The tea is made from twigs, leaves, and stalks cut from Sencha production. Leaves and stalks are processed separately and cut in the same size. Kukicha is low in caffeine and is wonderful tea in the afternoon or before bed.

Deliciously good! Added to sorbet too!
I'm such a huge fan of earl grey and especially the taste and smell of bergamot. The matcha was a little concerning to me at first due to the slight medicinal smell, but after I whisked it in hot water it bloomed into a super fragrant bergamot smell. Poured it over ice with oat milk and it tastes absolutely delicious! Earl grey tea is usually a little weak for my liking so this matcha is perfect for my drinks. I'm going to experiment by adding espresso or steaming the milk next time. I got the sample 1 oz size but this is seriously making me consider paying for a larger size, even though the price is a little high for my student funds.
Ordered the sample pack, and love it. The flavor is super concentrated and very floral/peppery. I've only had it in iced milk drinks but it drinks similarly to an iced chai. I love it!
The tea is well packaged. The scent is lovely.
Tastes amazing! The only thing I would add is that I use much more than the 7oz water recommended. It is very strong, which is a great thing. So much flavor.




My favorite green tea. I always reorder
I have been a green tea lover for many years, but gave up drinking caffeine on a daily basis (down to 2-3x/month). When I saw this green tea, however, I decided to give it a try. It is absolutely amazing! It has that earthy green tea flavor that I love, yet I have not experienced the caffeine jitters after drinking a cup. My 2-3 time-a-month habit is in jeopardy of increasing significantly! I gave some to a friend who said it's the best green tea she's ever had. If you love a true green tea in color and in taste, this is one to buy.
