Adagio Teas is our favorite supplier of Kukicha, and this their story about the origin of this unique tea.
Story of Kukicha
Land is a scarce resource in Japan, making all agriculture a pricey endeavor. So it became essential for the Japanese farmer to extract as much value from each tea bush as possible. Necessity being the mother of invention, the Japanese have been ingenious at devising tea varieties that are unheard of in countries more land-endowed. One such product is Kukicha. Twigs are an unusual tea ingredient. However, combined with green leaves they form a serendipitous mixture, with a unique taste and aroma.
Interesting and worth exploring. Visit Adagio and check it out.
