Moya - Kukicha - Loose Tea 60g
Tea with an enchantingly mild nutty-honey flavor, hints of umami, and a bright infusion, originating from the Uji region. There, after selling the more valuable leaves and buds, farmers brewed their own tea from the remaining twigs and stems—creating a tea unlike any other: Kukicha. In Japanese, “kuki” means twig, and “cha” means tea. Kukicha is perfect for cold brewing using the cold brew method. Moya Kukicha comes from organic farms on Kyushu Island and is lightly roasted, giving it a stronger aroma.
Photosynthesis that reduces theanine and increases tannins does not occur in stems and that is why kukicha contains high levels of this relaxing compound and low levels of caffeine. Kukicha is considered a macrobiotic tea because of its alkalizing properties and high calcium content. It can be drunk by kids, pregnant women and elderly. Just like other Japanese green teas, kukicha is a rich source of catechins and antioxidants.
