3. Origin & Character – The Art of Stem Tea

Kukicha ("stem tea") is made from the veins and stems of high-quality tea leaves.

These plant parts contain fewer bitter compounds and therefore develop a mild-sweet, particularly gentle taste.

The Karigane variety consists of stems traditionally sourced from high-quality teas – which gives the beverage a pure, light and very elegant note.

This is a green tea that can be enjoyed at any time of day – even in the evening, as it contains less caffeine.
