Clearspring Organic Japanese Tea, Kukicha
Organic Japanese Kukicha
This mild and soothing tea is from select twigs and stems of the tea bushes harvested late in the season, when the plant's caffeine levels are at their lowest. The twigs are steamed, dried aged to develop their flavour, then roasted and mixed with a small portion of roasted tea leaves.
It has a lower caffeine content than coffee, black tea and green tea, which makes it ideal for children and adults alike.
