Kukicha, also called twig tea or Kuki cha, is a delightfully different Japanese green tea made from the leafless stalks, stems, and twigs of the tea plant. If you want something smooth, comforting, and a little unusual, this is a lovely choice. The cup is gentle and mellow, with warm nutty and malty notes, a hint of toasted sweetness, and an earthy, brothy character that many fans describe as comforting and garden-fresh. This Kukicha is low on bitterness and pleasantly sweet, making it welcoming for people who are new to green tea, and it pairs well with other greens if you like to blend. Expect subtle grassy and umami undertones, a light, clean finish, and a soft aroma that some say has a faint floral or perfumed edge. Several customers praise this version as an exceptional, organic example of its kind. Brewing tips: use about 1 teaspoon per 8-ounce cup, water at 175 to 185°F (80 to 85°C), and steep 1 to 2 minutes for a smooth, balanced cup. Kukicha also takes a second infusion well, especially when mixed with leftover Gyokuro leaves for a gentle afternoon steep. Whether you enjoy it as a morning pick-me-up or a mellow afternoon sip, Kukicha delivers a unique taste profile: nutty, toasted, slightly sweet, and refreshingly smooth.
