Kukicha 莖茶

After a long day, this kukicha is my favorite wind-down — the low caffeine means I can sip it at night without lying awake, and that creamy greenish-gold cup is just so soothing. The sweetness comes through naturally, no sugar needed.

That creamy mouthfeel is exactly why I keep reaching for this before bed, and the sweet flavor means I don't even need a drop of honey. Steeped for three minutes, the greenish gold brew tastes like a gentle pick-me-up without any jitters.

The low caffeine is perfect for my after-dinner cup—I get the calm focus without lying awake at night. It brews up a beautiful greenish gold and the sweetness is natural, not added.
