Kukicha (3 years old) Bio

Kukicha, also known as 3-Year Tea, is a special Japanese tea made from the twigs and stems of the green tea plant (Camellia sinensis), aged for three years before roasting. This process gives it a smooth, slightly sweet flavor with toasted notes and low caffeine content, making it an excellent option for consumption throughout the day and even into the evening.

In addition to its unique flavor, Kukicha is prized in macrobiotic medicine for its benefits for the body's acid-base balance, aiding digestion, and contributing to a healthy metabolism. It's also a source of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, essential for overall well-being.

Production and Quality

Our Kukicha is organically produced, pesticide-free, and respecting traditional Japanese methods. The tea stems and stalks are carefully harvested and aged for three years before being lightly roasted, resulting in a tea with a balanced flavor and revitalizing properties.
