Kukicha is an organic Japanese green tea that, unlike most other teas, is made mainly from twigs and only a small proportion of leaves - kuki means twig and cha means tea. The flavour is characteristically round and slightly creamy with a nutty sweetness and a fresh greenness. The tea is low in caffeine and high in theanine, a calming amino acid.
We have flavoured our kukicha with ginger and lemon oil from Calabria.
