Kukicha Tea – Green Japanese Organic Tea

Kukicha is a Japanese green tea that, unlike most other teas, is primarily made from twigs, where 'kuki' means twig and 'cha' means tea. The tea contains a low caffeine content and a high proportion of theanine, which is a calming amino acid. Aromandise Kukicha is made from roasted twigs that have been aged for three years, which is why it's called "3-year tea".

Kukicha has rich woody flavors with refreshing notes typical of Japanese teas. The taste can be described as characteristically round with a mild sweetness. It can be consumed from morning to evening thanks to its low caffeine content (<0.6%) and as a complement to meals. Kukicha can be enjoyed hot, cold, or as iced tea, and it is very popular in the macrobiotic diet.
