Kukicha Organic Japanese Tea

In Japan, kukicha has been stigmatized as a poor man's drink because, like brown rice, it recalls the days of deprivation during and after the Second World War. Because it contains only a tenth of the caffeine of sencha, and because it is the most alkalinizing Japanese tea, it is considered the most balanced drink. The twigs are steamed, dried and stored in paper bags for two to three years to develop the best flavor.
