Numi Green Tea

Kukicha is a unique green tea made of the stems, twigs and stalks of the tea plant. After organic tea leaves are harvested, they are steamed and rolled in small batches into a Sencha green tea; then stems, twigs, and stalks are sorted out and roasted at a medium temperature. The resulting flavor is nutty, creamy and slightly sweet.   This roasted Japanese green tea has a nutty, savory flavor. After organic tea leaves are harvested, they are steamed and rolled in small batches, then roasted at a high temperature which removes bitterness and gives the tea its rich umami flavor.   Yuzu Bancha is a special Numi blend of Bancha green tea and dried Yuzu lemon peel for a sweet, lemony smooth green tea. For the green tea base, organic tea leaves are harvested, steamed and rolled in small batches, then roasted at a medium temperature. Enjoy this slightly roasted green tea with a lemony zest.
