The word <em>cuckoo<\/em> means &quot;twig&quot; and <em>cha<\/em> means \u201ctea\u201d, which reflects the unique composition of tea. When harvested, both young leaves and twigs are picked, but in <em>Kukicha<\/em> it is the twigs that play a dominant role in the blend, giving the tea a lighter, milder character.<br \/>\nThis combination provides <em>Kukicha<\/em> a flavour profile that is characteristically round, with a light creamy feel and a natural nutty sweetness embraced by a fresh greenness. The flavour is subtle yet full of depth, making the tea both satisfying and easy to drink. Because <em>Kukicha<\/em> contains a lower proportion of leaves, the caffeine content is also significantly lower than in many other green teas, making it an excellent choice for those who want a milder, decaffeinated experience.<br \/>\nThe tea is also rich in theanine, a calming amino acid known for its relaxing and stress-relieving effects. This composition makes <em>Kukicha<\/em> into a tea that both stimulates the senses with its light greenness and calms the mind with its relaxing properties, making it a perfect drink for both morning and evening.<br \/>\nOther names: Bocha, Kuki-Cha, Stem Tea, twig tea.<br \/>\n    <style>\n        @keyframes teaSpinIn {\n            0% { opacity: 0;
