Description
Kuwacha, or mulberry leaf tea, is a remarkable herbal tea known for its wide range of health benefits and delightful flavor. Naturally caffeine-free, Kuwacha can be enjoyed any time of day. As a powder, it can be prepared the same way as matcha, making it a great substitute for those who are caffeine sensitive and appreciate the ritual of whisking tea.
Our Kuwacha was grown by the Kawaji family in Kagoshima. This family has been growing organic teas since 1988 and even make their own slightly fermented fertilizer. The region of Kagoshima where it was grown has a high temperature difference between day and night which helps the tea develop a deeper flavor and the local volcanic ash-based soils allow for good drainage, which is vital for growing healthy plants.
