Kukicha

Preparation guidelines: Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 70° C. Use 12 g of tea (approx. 7 even tsp) for 1 litre of water. Allow to infuse for 2 minutes. Then strain. Suitable for 1-2 infusions.

Kuki means stem, and this tea comprises only the tea stems and skeletons of leaves remaining from the production of Sencha or Matcha. The short green leaves and twigs lend the infusion a light green shade, while the aroma and taste primarily feature the freshness of lemon grass, gradually transforming into the herbal sweetness of lemon balm.
