A thirst-quenching yet delicate beverage made from the select twigs and stems of carefully nurtured green tea bushes that have matured at least three years before cutting. The clippings are sun-dried for up to a week, then precisely roasted according to size and combined with a small percentage of roasted tea leaves. Mild and soothing, Mitoku Kukicha is an ideal drink for children and adults alike, at any time of day. Drink hot in winter or add lemon for a refreshing, clean taste, or in summer serve chilled with apple juice. Lowest in caffeine of all traditional Japanese green teas.
Ingredients: organic roasted tea twigs & leaves, clipped from Nagata green tea bushes.
Originally a medicinal beverage brought from China by Buddhist monks, tea was both rare and expensive in Japan for many cenhiries. Long-standing members of a traditional farming organization known as "Nature Farmers," the Nagata family produces some of the world's finest organically grown teas. Nature farming stresses the importance of building soil vitality by maintaining a semi-wild natural environment. Plants are not overly protected or pampered but are allowed to fend for themselves with the help of a strong, balanced topsoil. Their growing methods exceed the strictest organic standards and are based on a deep sense of personal responsibility for the land. The result is natural teas that are of exceptional quality and flavor.
