When making green tea, the Japanese don't waste anything. The Japanese harness the tea stalks, which other tea regions might discard, to create a delightful tea. The tea plant's stems and twigs provide less caffeine, amino acids, and antioxidants, resulting in less flavor and traditional benefits than full-leaf tea. This tea has gained an ardent following in Japan. They enjoy its mellow flavor and low levels of caffeine. Macrobiotic diets also incorporate it.

Details:Kukicha is similar to Hojicha, yet not roasted, and yields a slightly vegetal brew with a light green color.
Dry Leaves:This is a mixture of green stems and yellow twigs from tea plants in Japan.
Liquor:This is a very light green.
Aroma:Because the green stems are from good tea bushes, there are hints of Sencha with woody undertones. Although the stems are similar to Hojicha, these twigs are not roasted.
Flavors:Kukicha has a light vegetal flavor from the remaining stems and some woody notes from the twigs.
