Loading... Please wait...Kukicha, also known as twig tea, is an interesting blend of Japanese Sencha tea stems, stalks and twigs. In spite of the lack of an actual bud or leaf, Kukicha produces one of the smoothest green tea flavors around. Steeping the yellow and green stems results in a light shade of bright green liquor with a slightly oceany and subtle vegetal aroma and flavor. Fortunately, not only does this green tea taste great but it’s also a powerful antioxidant. With that in mind, some might say you’d be silly not to at least give Kukicha a try.
