Toasted Kukicha

During the production of Japanese sencha and bancha the leaf stalks, or "Kuki", are saved for this astonishing tea. Toasting adds a rich smouldering flavour to this otherwise gentle infusion. Hints of roasted grains and bitter chocolate emerge from this light and enjoyable green tea.

Toasted Kukicha is naturally very low in caffeine and high in trace elements. Despite the range of flavours it harbours, it is not a strong tea and can be enjoyed day and night.
