This green tea quality is largely composed by leaf stalks, the so-called "Kuki", which are obtained during the production of Sencha and Bancha. Therefore, it's nearly free of caffeine, but rich in trace elements. Toasted Kukicha is a particular green tea speciality with a strong, sweetish taste. The mild coffee nuance reminds a little of dark chocolate. Despite its characteristic appearance, its taste is discreet and thus makes it an enjoyable experience. This tea is suitable both during the day and in the evening.
