One of my daily favorites
The tea has a great mellow flavor. Great tea to start your day low caffeine, very enjoyable drinking experience.
new staple shiraore
"ikki" is my new staple shiraore / kukicha. Delivers a nice "grassy" / "vegetal" flavor without being overwhelming. Unlike a lot of other kukicha I've had it's not got any bitterness while still delivering the full flavor.
We love it!
Ikky is our daily tea time, we really appreciate its fine and delicate taste.
Light and fresh
Light and fresh, my everyday tea. Really love it!
