Kukicha
Kukicha is a unique type of Japanese tea that is made with twigs and stems of Camellia sinensis. It typically comes in the form of green tea, though more oxidized varieties are also available. When brewed, the tea has a subtly sweet, vegetal flavor and a pleasant aroma.
It has low astringency and makes for an excellent, everyday tea. Karigane is a type of high-quality kukicha. It is produced from stems and stalks of the leaves used in the production of Gyokuro—a type of shaded Japanese tea. Kukicha would pair well with light dishes, poultry, cheese, and desserts.
