JA Kagoshima Tea Minna de Kukicha Stem Tea 100g | Kagoshima Green Tea

JA Kagoshima Tea Minna de Kukicha is a refreshing Japanese stem tea made from carefully selected tender stems separated during the sencha production process. Produced in Kagoshima Prefecture, one of Japan's leading tea-growing regions, this kukicha offers a light, clean taste with a naturally sweet aroma. The stems used in kukicha contain higher levels of the amino acid L-theanine, which contributes to a smooth umami flavor and natural sweetness. Compared to tea leaves, the stems contain less catechin-based astringency, resulting in a milder, easier-drinking tea with a refreshing finish. Whether enjoyed hot or cold, this everyday Japanese green tea is perfect for family gatherings, daily meals, or relaxing tea breaks.
