Kukicha

Naturally Rich in L-Theanine

Premium Stems - Not Leftover Tea - A different part of the tea plant with its own naturally distinctive

Kukicha is a uniquely gentle Japanese green tea, prized for its naturally smooth taste and its relatively high proportion of L-theanine — the amino acid associated with green tea’s distinctive umami, mellow character and naturally smooth taste.

Because Kukicha is made primarily from the stems of the tea plant, it offers a beautifully light, refreshing cup with less bitterness and a naturally gentle character.

Smooth, light and easy to enjoy, Kukicha is a wonderful choice for anyone who prefers a softer style of Japanese green tea. Its mellow flavour makes it especially enjoyable when you want to slow down and unwind — whether after a busy day, in the evening, or simply during a quiet moment for yourself.

KUKI means STEM in Japanese,
