Really enjoying this tea. Very mild and smooth yet with plenty of flavour. Very satisfying. I prefer to brew it at around 70 C, slightly lower than recommended. In my experience, this is often the case with higher grade greens. A new favourite. Great if you’re looking for something with a bit less caffeine.

IKKI is a lovely tea. Very mild and smooth yet with plenty of flavour. Very satisfying. I prefer to brew it at around 70 C, slightly lower than recommended. In my experience, this is often the case with higher grade greens. A winner. Especially if you’re looking for something with a bit less caffeine.

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.
