Description

Kukicha Kabuse is a fine Japanese green tea with a clean taste and light fresh green aroma. Kukicha Kabuse is a Karigane tea meaning that it consists of the stems and stalks that remain from Gyokuro tea production that are otherwise discarded. Kukicha Kabuse “twig tea” produces a unique and prized specialty Japanese tea. Gyokuro is a top-grade shade grown Japanese green tea that is sweet, mild and rich. Kukicha Kabuse is theanine-rich, aromatic and produces a liquor that is a beautiful shade of green; the flavor is uniquely sweet and delicate, without any astringency. Kukicha Kabuse is simple to brew, has a wide brewing spectrum with multiple infusions, and will brew well at many varying brewing temperatures. A highly recommend green tea!

I'm not a tea connoisseur but what I can say is that this is my favourite green tea, hands down. It's beaten my old favourite - gyokuro gokou. It is not bitter, tastes smooth and I normally drink it by wanging 3 teaspoons in a 1L teapot with 1 teaspoon of whisked matcha powder. Boom, delish!

Good beginner tea (but may quickly become an old favorite). Some flexibility with brewing (leaving in 30 seconds too long does not spoil the tea.). I brew with 1 heaping TBSP and 10 oz water. Good for at least three infusions although the last is weak. Brew time about 2min 20 seconds for me.
Nice delicate flavor--not astringent, a little pleasant-seaweed, little sweetness. Just a nice tea flavor. No flavor extremes here. No fuss.

This tea is my favorite and daily - 2 steeps from 1 Tbsp + 300 g water. The umami flavor is very pronounced. It's flavor compares to premium gyokuro.

Very light, somewhat sweetly vegetal, umami, with a hint of nuttyness and very low astringency.

A very interesting green tea. It's quite a bit different than standard green teas made from leaves, yet still very familiar. I recommend trying kukicha to see if you like it!
