Elevate Your Tea Ritual
Brew your kukicha in one of our German Glass Stove-Top Kettles to watch the twigs and stems dance as they release their gentle flavor. The clear glass showcases the tea's beautiful pale golden color while ensuring perfect brewing temperature.
What Makes Kukicha Unique: While most teas are made exclusively from leaves, kukicha celebrates the often-overlooked parts of the tea plant. The twigs and stems from older growth create a completely different flavor profile—milder, sweeter, and more mineral-rich than leaf teas. It's the perfect introduction to Japanese tea culture for those who find traditional green tea too intense.
