Review:
Kukicha is a tea that I have had before and wasn’t overly impressed with, but I thought I would give it another try. It does have an interesting appearance, combining stems with the typical tea leaves gives it a very unique look. As far as taste goes it is okay. The problem I have with this tea is there is just nothing that jumps out at you. It’s not that it’s necessarily bad, just sort of “blah.” It is little on the light side with a grassy aftertaste. Overall, I’ll drink it, but I don’t think I will order it again when it’s out.
My Rating:
2.5 / 5
