Story
Land is a scarce resource in Japan, making all agriculture a pricey endeavor. So it became essential for the Japanese farmer to extract as much value from each tea bush as possible. Necessity being the mother of invention, the Japanese have been ingenious at devising tea varieties that are unheard of in countries more land-endowed. One such product is Kukicha. Twigs are an unusual tea ingredient. However, combined with green leaves they form a serendipitous mixture, with a unique taste and aroma. Well worth a try.

"This tea isn't as good since the label has been changed to 'stems and leaves.' Before, it was one of my favorites. "
"Love this tea - like drinking a little bit of fresh mowed grass. Sounds weird, but it's one of my favorites!"
"I use to drink kukicha while I lived in Japan and have grown to love this tea. It reminds me of good times!"
