Japanese Roasted Kukicha
JAPANESE ROASTED KUKICHA
The stems of the tea plant, roasted. Soft, nutty, very mellow and sweet flavor.
Kukicha is actually the stem of the tea plant, not the leaves. It is also known as twig tea. Its unique flavor characteristics are best coaxed out on the 2nd or third infusions, with lower temperature water (around 75C). It also makes an excellent, refreshing iced tea.

Mild in flavour, this tea was nutty, earthy and smooth. With no after-taste or bitterness, and even after steeping a second time, it was still flavourful. It’s a very natural tea, that I prefer enjoying in the evening after a long day, for a calming effect. Tonight I chose to partner it with a blood orange mousse cake since I wanted something neutral and not overpowering to the rich orange cake flavours.
Kukicha was my first experience with loose leaf tea, and I was not a huge fan at the time! Years later, I tried this kukicha and loved it! It is one of my favourites. I agree with everything Leslie said, it is smooth, nutty and slightly earthy. It feels like the perfect tea on a cold day, it warms you right up. Definitely recommend!
