Description

Kukicha is a type of Japanese green tea crafted from the tender stems selected during the sencha refining process. These stems are valued for the distinct character they bring to the cup, offering a softer expression of green tea that differs from leaf-focused styles.

When brewed, this Kukicha reveals a gentle sweetness and subtle umami, accompanied by a light, floral aroma. Its calm, balanced profile makes it an ideal tea for unhurried moments, particularly in the afternoon or evening.

About the New Packaging
The central motif of our new packaging is the mizuhiki knot. Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord, used to mark moments of gratitude, respect, and connection. On our packaging, it serves as a quiet symbol of these values.

To us, the mizuhiki represents the relationships that shape our tea, from the growers who cultivate the leaves, to our own team who carefully finish and pack them, and ultimately to those who enjoy them. Each knot reflects intention and care, reinforcing the idea that tea is not simply a product, but a connection between people, place, and time.

Very fresh and great quality

This is really good as an ice tea and very easy to make. I add 1 1/2 tablespoon of the loose tea to 16 Oz of cool water ( not need to heat or boil water) and let it sit for 20 mins. Pour on ice and add some honey or other sweetener and it’s very refreshing.

Outstanding Kukicha

The loose leaf Kukicha was my 2nd repeat order of this tea. It has become my preferred tea before I start my day. It's subtle grassy flavor offers a refreshing balance between a cleansing, slight bitterness and the suggestion of sweetness. It is outstanding and quiet at once. I also bought a sample of loose Gyokuro. It is superb, having the qualities I enjoy in the Kukicha but with a deeper variety of flavors. I will probably alternate these in the mornings.

Delicious fresh, sweet taste

I have tried several brands of kukicha and this is the best! Every batch I've had has been fresh and delicious with a pleasing sweet flavor.

Kukicha loose leaf tea

I just reordered this tea as I so enjoyed the last bag. I tried Sugimoto tea just a few months ago having used a different brand and this is obviously much higher quality. I also recently ordered several sample packets of other teas to try and all have been excellent.
