This Kukicha is crafted from the young tea leaf stems, carefully separated during the Sencha refining process. Kukicha, commonly known as "stem tea" or "twig tea," boasts a unique profile. Being predominantly composed of stems, it offers a heightened presence of L-theanine while containing less caffeine compared to traditional leaf-only green teas. This natural balance imparts a gentle sweetness to the brew and makes it a soothing choice suitable for any time of day without inducing drowsiness. This Kukicha presents a mildly sweet, invigorating vegetal taste complemented by an enjoyable aroma.
