About This Product
Kukicha is a light, gentle tea made from the branches of the tea plant. With its beautiful aroma and particularly low caffeine levels, Kukicha is an ideal evening tea, pleasing to adults and children alike.
To produce Kukicha, the Camellia Sinensis branches are dried and then allowed to age for around two years. The process is finished by steaming and then gently roasting the Kukicha. The traditional method includes four separate roastings in wood-fired, iron cauldrons, which slowly develops the distinctive flavor and aroma. This style of tea is a specialty of Japanese tea makers, not commonly found in other tea cultures.
Ingredients: Organic Roasted Tea Branches and Leaves.
