Kukicha

Kukicha is a Japanese green tea. The tea not only has the leaves but it also has stems of the tea. So why would they include the stems? Well, they don’t have much farmland in Japan and adding the steams is a way to  increase the output of the farm without compromising the flavor.

Taste:
There is a slight sweetness, with a faint  nuttiness and there is an unambiguous grassiness to the tea. Brews to a pale green.

Brew for 3min  @ 180F.
