Product Detail

The country people's tea During the fall in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, tea farmers turn to the harvest of tea twigs for kukicha, the "peasant's drink", so-called because farmers drank it after selling the leaves as a cash crop. The farmers carefully select 40% medium twigs aged 3 yrs. , 40% thick twigs aged 10 yrs., and 20% thin twigs and leaves aged 1 yr. , before gently roasting each variety separately to bring out its rich flavor. Because caffeine is concentrated in the leaves, twig tea is very mild and can be drunk even at night. Try out Haiku® Organic Japanese Kukicha Twig Tea and you will understand why true connoisseurs of Japanese twig tea will drink nothing else. Our teabags are made from unbleached Non-GMO natural fibers with individual wraps to preserve freshness. Our ink is vegetable-based and this box is coated with a water-based varnish.
