Yuzu Matcha Kuki Cha combines a few of our favorite flavors from Japan. Kuki Cha, also called stem tea or twig tea, uses stalks and stems from higher-end teas for a sweet and nutty cup. Our rich, clean-tasting Kuki Cha melds easily with delicious matcha powder: an umami powerhouse duo. The first aromatic burst of Kuki Cha leads into matcha’s thick, hearty texture, all while keeping a remarkably agile feel. Then yuzu peel adds the je ne sais quoi. This east-Asian citrus evokes lemons or mandarin oranges, but with a floral quality unique to yuzu. If you enjoy Japanese teas, but you’ve never tasted this combination, then we strongly encourage you to try Yuzu Matcha Kuki Cha! The tea master where this tea is made was recently awarded Top Tea Connoisseur in Japan. This company bypasses the government tea auctions and purchases its tea directly from the farmers. This way, the tea farmers get a higher price for their crop. In addition, the tea manufacturer knows the tea source.
