What is Kukicha tea?
Use of stems and leaf veins:
Kukicha is made from the stems and leaf veins of the tea bush and not from the leaves themselves. This creates a unique flavor profile and a different composition of ingredients.
Mild taste:
Kukicha tea has a mild, slightly sweet taste. Due to the use of stems, it contains less bitterness compared to other types of tea. Many people find its taste pleasant and refreshing.
Low caffeine content:
Since Kukicha is made primarily from stems, which contain less caffeine than the leaves, the tea has a correspondingly lower caffeine content. This makes it a popular choice for evening tea.
High mineral content:
Kukicha tea contains a number of minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium. These minerals contribute to healthy nutrition and support healthy bone structure, heart health and muscle contraction.
Pleasant effect:
Many people appreciate Kukicha tea for its calming and relaxing effects. Although it contains less caffeine, the tea can still gently energize while relieving stress.
Preparation:
Preparing Kukicha is similar to preparing other types of green tea. 2g Tee pro 100ml hot water (approx. 90 degrees), Ziehzeit 1-1,5min. Several infusions are possible.
