Organic Superior Kukicha tea is a very special tea that is only produced in early spring in the first harvest of Sencha tea, it contains very little caffeine, which makes it an excellent tea at any time of the day and has a very fresh vegetal aroma with a slightly sweet taste with hints of dried fruit, almost creamy.

Kukicha tea contains high levels of antioxidants and can be re-infused up to 4 times using the same leaves, maintaining the flavour and aromas.

Origin of Organic Kukicha Tea

Kukicha tea originated in the tea plantations of Uji, near Kyoto. After selling off the most valuable leaves and buds of the Camellia Sinensis plant, farmers made Kukicha from the remaining stems and twigs, cutting them evenly, creating a new, more economical tea. At first the Japanese consumed it as a cheap alternative to green tea, but in recent years it has become a very popular tea for two reasons: it is one of the best teas to accompany sushi and because the philosopher George Ohsawa, founder of the macrobiotic diet, recommended drinking kukicha tea to maintain a balanced diet.
