Description

Kukicha Kabuse is a fine Japanese green tea with a clean taste and light fresh green aroma. Kukicha Kabuse is a Karigane tea meaning that it consists of the stems and stalks that remain from organic Gyokuro tea production that are otherwise discarded. Kukicha Kabuse “twig tea” produces a unique and prized specialty Japanese tea. Gyokuro is a top-grade shade grown Japanese green tea that is sweet, mild and rich. Kukicha Kabuse is theanine-rich, aromatic and produces a liquor that is a beautiful shade of green; the flavor is uniquely sweet and delicate, without any astringency. Kukicha Kabuse is simple to brew, has a wide brewing spectrum with multiple infusions, and will brew well at many varying brewing temperatures. A highly recommend organic green tea!

Very light, somewhat sweetly vegetal, umami, with a hint of nuttyness and very low astringency.

A very interesting green tea. It's quite a bit different than standard green teas made from leaves, yet still very familiar. I recommend trying kukicha to see if you like it!

One of my everyday teas. It's light but flavoursome but not too strong. I can't work out whether it is more grassy or hay like personally. However I always use as a part of mix. It has a lovely colour too. Greatly recommend it.

I love this tea. It's the first kukicha I've enjoyed, as the others I'd tried were bitter and grassy. This one is amazing! It's rich yet light, sweet yet earthy, and is versatile and unfussy to brew. The color is a beautiful pale green. I've ordered 2 rounds of 1.76 oz, and am going to 3.52 oz this time as I am running out too fast.
