Purchased the organic kukicha recently. It's very forgiving of brewing temperature and doesn't get bitter.
The Ocha kukicha is so delicate and flavorful. I like to drink kukicha sometimes because it is lower in caffeine than sencha but gives me the flavor of delicious green tea. Ocha’s kukicha preserves the buttery and earthy nature of the plant like any other brand I’ve had. I highly recommend this tea to any green tea lover.
I love Japanese Green Tea and recently purchased Ocha & Co's organic japanese kukicha green tea because it was advertised as having less caffeine but a fresh, grassy taste. I dislike roasted green tea and can't handle a lot of caffeine like in traditional japanese green teas/matcha. At first I did not like the flavor, it seemed a bit too earthy and strong, but then I realized it was because I brewed it too long - it's not meant to be brewed more than 20-60 seconds. If you follow the directions of amount and brewing time fairly strictly on the back of the package you will get a delicate and aromatic green tea with a soothing yellowy/green color which is perfect for those wanting less caffeine and a calming, nutritious cup of tea!
