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 twig chai 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. As the majority of the tea is leaves and steams, Kukicha is low in caffeine and is wonderful tea in the afternoon or before bed.
