Kukicha Shiro Okayama

Kukicha, or twig tea, also known as bōcha, is a Japanese blend made of stems, stalks, and twigs. It is available as a green tea or in more oxidized processing. It mostly comes from the processing of Sencha and Tencha when the stems and twigs are left behind. After the steaming and drying process, leaves are separated based on colors. Sencha is dark green leaves, and Kukicha has light green stems. These are separated either by labor or sorting machines. Kukicha has a unique flavor and aroma among teas, due to its being composed of parts of the tea plant that are excluded from most other teas. Regular Kukicha material comes from production of Sencha or Tencha. It also has a less bitter taste than Sencha and a more refreshing aroma, which is why it is preferred over many other green teas for daily intake.
