This delicious, mild and soothing tea is an ideal drink for children and adults alike. It is made from the select twigs and stems of carefully nurtured tea bushes that are steamed, dried, left to age for 2-3 years to develop flavour, then roasted and combined with a small portion of roasted tea leaves

My favourite tea - Sat 9th Oct 2010
Kukicha gets better every time I drink it. Deliciously roasted, these twigs will offer you the tastiest tea, with very little caffeine.
Teabags of Kukicha are ideal when you want to enjoy this very yummy tea on the go, for you don't have to boil them, like you would with the loose version.
Kukicha makes the blood more alkaline and is a number one brew for people who try to balance that.
Highly recommended. Also check out Clearspring's loose version.

health tea - Sun 10th Oct 2010
This tea has many health benefits and is widely used in the macrobiotic diet. I use the same tea bag a few times over the course of the day to save money and get the most out of it. Kukicha 'twig' tea has the strongest alkalizing ability of any Japanese tea. It is also packed with nutrients. A cup of twig tea is a good source of calcium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, and fluoride. It is also a rich source of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C and A, flavonoids, and the same polyphenols that have made green tea known as a cancer-fighting food, catechins.

This tea tastes nothing like any other green tea. This tea has a rich smooth flavour. If you enjoy black coffee I think you will like this tea.
