Price range: 60,00 zł through 200,00 zł
A fresh and juicy spring tea from Japan, made not only of leaves but also of delicate stems. The stems bring natural sweetness to the infusion and pleasant notes of freshly cut grass. They also naturally contain much less caffeine, so Kukicha is an ideal option for a calm end of the day.
This is Kukicha of top quality, clearly standing apart from more everyday variants. This particular kind of Kukicha is known in Japan as Karigane. Sencha KariganeKarigane means “wild bird’s call”. The stems used to make this Kukicha come from the leaves of Gyokuro, the most prized of all Japanese teas, grown in almost complete darkness. This gives the tea plenty of chlorophyll, responsible for its intensely green color, a stronger potential for umami flavor and, most importantly, a very high amount of relaxing L theanine.
Kukicha is crisp and easy compared to other Japanese teas, with much more sweetness and pleasant flavors that can bring to mind pistachios or juicy melon.
