A refined Japanese green tea crafted from the stems (kuki) separated during the production of Gyokuro, one of Japan’s highest-grade teas. By using only stems from Kyoto-grown tea leaves, this Kugicha offers a light, clean, and pleasantly mild flavour, making it exceptionally easy to drink even for those who find regular green tea too strong.
Kugicha is known for its smooth umami, natural sweetness, and refreshing finish—perfect as an everyday premium tea.
Product Introduction
Produced by Nakamura Tokichi Honten, a historic Kyoto tea house established in 1854, this tea delivers the elegance and craftsmanship of traditional Uji tea culture.
Gyokuro stems are naturally rich in amino acids, giving the tea:
• A gentle umami aroma
