Henno's flowery needle tea made from the leaves of the tea bush
Kukicha is an interesting green tea with most of the leafy greens removed. What remains are the branches, leaf stalks and other wooden parts of the tea bush. Generally, kukicha material comes from the production of sencha and matcha. Kukicha has a very unique taste because it is made from the parts of the tea plant that are usually thrown away.
Kukicha is characterized by its inherent sweetness and softness. According to the seller, it tasted like non-alcoholic wheat beer at first taste. That is, slightly nutty and creamy.
The caffeine in tea accumulates the most in the softer parts of the tea leaf, which have been removed from the kukicha. That's why kukicha is low in caffeine. Green tea has a lot of flavonoids and L-theanine. They help with stress, calm and improve concentration. L-theanine also produces a feeling of pleasure. Green tea helps the stomach function and speeds up digestion.
