Kukicha, or twig tea, is a blend of stems and leaves from the Camellia Sinensis tea bush.

Kukicha has a unique flavour as it consists of twigs and small branches that are rarely used in the production of other teas where only leaves are used.

Kukicha is mild with a nutty flavour and slight sweetness. What characterises this tea is a long and smooth aftertaste.

This tea is from our producer Hoshino Seichaen.

Ingredients: green tea.

Preparation

Kukicha twigs and leaves are best brewed in a preheated small teapot, so that you can pour water on the leaves again and make fresh extracts.

Use 1 tsp. (2-3 grams) of tea per cup and pour the water over when it has cooled slightly (75-80 degrees).
Let the tea steep for 1 minute the first time.
For the second brew, the tea steeps ½ min.
third brew approx. 2 minutes.

When serving, pour alternately between the cups to mix the contents. The tea leaves can be reused two to three times.
