Kukicha green tea ORGANIC 60 g - MOYA MATCHA

INGREDIENTS

Kukicha Green Tea 100% * (* ingredient from organic farming)

DESCRIPTION
Kukicha is a green tea made entirely of twigs and petioles - those parts of tea bushes - not found in other teas. Hence the name: "kuki" means stick or stick in Japanese. Kukicha is formed in the manufacture of other green teas when the leaf blades are separated from the rest of the components. Its taste is therefore definitely different: more delicate, sweeter and slightly nutty. Due to the low caffeine content, kukicha is perfect for children, pregnant women and late in the day. For this reason it is also often recommended in a macrobiotic diet, together with a generous amount of tea. Kukicha also has high levels of relaxing theanine. The theanine in the photosynthesis of the leaves turns into tannins that give the tea a "bitter" aftertaste. Since photosynthesis does not occur in the stems, they are naturally high in theanine. Moya Kukicha is the highest quality Kukicha made in the Matcha production process when the leaves and stems are separated from the Aracha (tea leaves - Matcha semi-finished product). Unlike a regular Kukicha, it is roasted very delicately (much shorter than a Hojicha). This gives it a stronger aroma and a darker tawny color.
