Kukicha, sometimes called twig tea or stem tea, is a sencha variant where the stems of the tea plant are used along with the leaves. Some kukichas use the stems alone, but this master-blender kukicha uses an elegant mix of leaf and delicate stem pieces for a very well-balanced cup.
This tea brews very easily and whether your water is a little hotter or cooler, and whether your steeping time is a little shorter or longer. It also makes fantastic mizudashi (cold brew) and a sublime koridashi (ice brew).
- Sourced from Shizuoka, Japan
- Flavor profile: Sweet wet grass right up front, with rolling umami next. Well-rounded with soft saline notes, an excellent blend. Easy pouring, easy drinking.
- Product #: CHC01
- Code: NWS
Chaba means "tea leaf" in Japanese, but it can also be read as "the place for tea" - and that's what they are trying to create, a place where you can find the heart of Japanese tea. Aya and Daniel are an international couple with a shared love for tea. Their tea-love turned into a project, Chaba & Co. All of their teas are directly sourced from Japan, from growers and producers that they have met and know - people Aya and Daniel have visited on other farms, in their tearooms, and have shared tea with.
