Pantenger Kukicha has a delicate herbaceous aroma with a floral aftertaste. Aromas will vary with temperature. The color is yellow green. For best results, infuse at 175ºF for 1 minute. About Kukicha Tea Kukicha is mainly made from tea stems rather than tea leaves. Kukicha was originally a by-product of Matcha where stems are removed before the leaves are milled to obtain the green tea powder. At present, Kukicha tea has its own supporters in Japan and around the world. It has a lighter taste compared to Sencha and Matcha, which are made from tea leaves only. The caffeine content is lower too.
