Description
With gentle, creamy notes of fresh herbs, chestnut and wood, this beloved Japanese green tea is reminiscent of a forest fairyland. Originally considered a peasant’s tea because it is composed of the twigs and stems as well as the leaves of the tea plant, Kukicha is now seen as a delicacy and is revered for its well-rounded flavor, powerful health benefits and overall balancing effect on the body. For the smoothest flavor, allow freshly boiled water to cool several minutes (to approximately 180°F) before brewing.

Quick Brewing Guide
Water Temperature: 180°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoons per 16 oz
Steep Time: 2-3 minutes
Brewing Instructions
General Guide:
- Add tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.
- Use 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste.
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, allow it to cool slightly, then pour water over tea leaves and cover.
- Infuse (steep) leaves 2-5 minutes; 3½ minutes is a good average that works well for most tea types. Do not oversteep or tea may become bitter. If you prefer strong tea, simply use more leaves.
- Remove bag or infuser from water or strain leaves. Enjoy!
Water Quality: Tea is only as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled or unfiltered tap water, which can limit tea’s flavor. Bottled spring water or filtered tap water is ideal.
Water Temperature: Most teas taste best when prepared with water around 195˚F (just below boiling); however, some teas require a lower temperature or they may become bitter.
Iced Tea: To make fresh iced tea, use twice as much tea to account for dilution by ice. Hot Brew: Follow directions above, allow tea to cool, and add ice. Cold Brew: Pour fresh, cold water over tea leaves, cover, and refrigerate 8 hours.
