Kukicha

Made from young leaves separated during the sencha refining process, Kukicha is known for its natural sweetness, lower caffeine content, and higher levels of L-theanine. Often referred to as "twig tea" or "stem tea," this unique blend is both relaxing and versatile, making it an excellent choice for evening enjoyment. The stems' higher concentration of L-theanine contributes to its calming properties, while the reduced caffeine allows it to be savored at any time of the day. Our Kukicha tea offers a mildly sweet, refreshing vegetal flavor with a subtle floral fragrance, providing a soothing and enjoyable tea experience.
