Description

Our Organic Kukicha is made from the stems of young tea leaves separated during our Organic Sencha Asamushi's refining process. Kukicha is often known as "stem tea" or called "twig tea". Since kukicha is made up of primarily stems, it has a higher concentration of L-theanine and lower amount of caffeine compared to leaf-only green teas. This gives it a natural sweetness and makes it a relaxing tea that can be enjoyed any time of day without inducing sleepiness. Our Organic Kukicha has a mildly sweet, refreshing vegetal flavor, and a pleasant fragrance.

Organic Kukicha

This Kukicha is wonderful. It is delicious, calming, and it will take you from morning to night. Shopping from Sugimoto is equally amazing; an experience more like visiting knowledgeable and generous friends than a mere business transaction. Thank you, Sugimoto, for teaching me about Kukicha. PS I love the note cards that you include with the orders! I have the smiling tea farmer posted in my kitchen and I wave back at him every time I make tea.

My daily drink!

I love this kukicha. It's calming, without much caffeine, so I'm generally find to drink any time of day and the taste has some nice natural sweet grassy flavors.

Organic Kukicha

I buy kukicha every time I encounter it because of the very low caffeine content. Many are roasted which overpowers the delicate flavors. This is by far the best mukicha I have ever tasted. It’s a good Japanese tea without much caffeine.

My daily Zen!

This has turned into the tea I love to start most of my productive days with. It has such a nice sweet, refreshing flavor and produces 3 great brews per tbsp.

My Go-To Tea

I so happy about this tea from Sugimoto. This is my daily "Go-To" tea. I love the grassy full-bodied taste and stable finish. This tea just makes me smile and feel good!!

Wonderful Kukicha

Love it. High quality is something you can taste. I will be buying more. Appreciate the instructions on to how to brew properly, and the wonderful samples.

Perfect!

An excellent, everyday Organic Green Tea. I have been drinking green tea for many years. Sugimoto Tea is not only a excellent tea, but also a great company. Thank You.

Organic kukicha

Very good kukicha. I cannot have green tea with high caffeine so this is perfect. Also the taste is still good unlike other kukicha brands I have tried.

My daily green

I first tried Sugimotos Kukicha at a tea event in Portland and now it is my daily drinking tea! I love the flavor and that it is low in caffeine. In the summer I cold brew the second steeping for a refreshing pick me up in the afternoon. So happy to discover Sugimoto!
