Senkukicha is often enjoyed for its salubrious nature, our organic green kukicha is comprised of non-roasted tea twigs and leaves. Otherwise known as Senkukicha, this tea has a slightly fruity taste with a fresh grassy feel and a crisp finish. Steeps a vibrant green infusion and is best steeped at a low temperature. If you would like to try a more roasted style, our Kukicha “Twig Tea” is excellent.

  • Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

    A deliciously smooth sencha that is not at all astringent, even though I brew it at a higher temperature. It’s one of my favorites, along with Sencha Fuka-midori and Fukamushi Sencha.

    When the box was opened for me to smell, I knew this was a winner! Definitely my new favorite every day tea. Smooth as silk, and so far a hit with everyone who’s tried it!

    An ok tea, it definitely has a very different profile than I’ve had so far. I’m definitely getting the grassy/vegetal notes no doubt, but there’s also this rubbery/meaty zing as well. Maybe this is the profile they’re aiming for. It’s not a bad tea frankly, just incredibly weird to me. I do like the cloudiness after the brew, that means flavor and texture and you will get a lot of it with this tea. Perhaps it’s because it’s essentially the unroasted version of the Kukicha Twig Tea, which I’m planning on getting next to compare. But it’s not a drain pour or anything like that, it’s strangely pleasant.
