Kukicha from Mie is a traditional Japanese green tea crafted primarily from tender tea stems and stalks, carefully separated during the production of sencha and gyokuro. Grown in the fertile tea fields of Mie Prefecture, this tea reflects the region’s gentle climate and long-standing Japanese tea heritage.

The infusion is pale golden with a clear, comforting aroma of fresh greens, roasted grain, and soft sweetness. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, offering gentle vegetal notes, light nuttiness, and a naturally sweet character with minimal bitterness. Its naturally lower caffeine content makes Kukicha especially suitable for all-day and evening enjoyment.

Clean, approachable, and quietly complex, this tea is a staple of everyday Japanese tea culture.
