Kukicha Superior green tea is a Japanese tea made from the stems and twigs of Sencha tea. The inclusion of these parts of the plant makes it especially unique and delicious, giving it a very pleasant, light flavour that will make you want to drink another cup in no time. In addition, its low caffeine content makes it a perfect alternative to other more stimulating teas.
Superior Organic Kukicha tea is a very special tea that is only produced in early spring in the first harvest of Sencha tea, it contains very little caffeine, making it an excellent tea at any time of the day and has a very fresh vegetal aroma with a slightly sweet taste with hints of dried fruit, almost creamy.
Kukicha tea contains high levels of antioxidants and can be re-infused up to 4 times using the same leaves, maintaining the flavour and aromas.
Origin of Organic Kukicha Tea
Kukicha tea originated in the tea plantations of Uji, near Kyoto. After selling off the most valuable leaves and buds of the Camellia Sinensis plant, farmers made Kukicha from the remaining stems and twigs, cutting them evenly, creating a new, cheaper tea. Originally consumed by the Japanese as a cheap alternative to green tea, it has become very popular in recent years for two reasons: it is one of the best teas to accompany sushi, and because the philosopher George Ohsawa, founder of the macrobiotic diet, recommended drinking kukicha tea to maintain a balanced diet.
How to prepare Organic Green Kukicha Tea
- Quantity: 12-15 g/liter
- Time: 1-3 minutes
- Temperature: 70-80ºC
- It contains a large amount of antioxidants: Green tea is rich in polyphenols and catechins, which are natural compounds with great health benefits. It contains the catechin EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a natural antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage by reducing the formation of free radicals, which play a role in ageing and many types of disease.
- Improves brain function: Green tea contains caffeine or theine and L-theanine. The caffeine present in green tea acts as a stimulant in a different way to coffee, the caffeine in tea is released in a more dosed form in the body, maintaining its effects for longer but without causing the jitters that are attributed to the caffeine in coffee. L-theanine is an amino acid that increases the activity of GABA neurotransmitters, having anxiolytic effects and increasing dopamine, resulting in relaxation and better concentration. Studies have shown that caffeine and L-theanine act together, producing a much milder and different effect to coffee.
- In any fat burning supplement green tea is present in a high percentage, this is because, according to scientific studies, green tea increases fat burning and stimulates metabolism. It can be particularly effective in reducing abdominal fat.
- Prevents cardiovascular disease: Green tea helps reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) by increasing the antioxidant capacity of the blood, which protects LDL particles from oxidation. Several studies have shown that people who regularly drink green tea have up to a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
- Reduces bad breath:The catechins in green tea also have oral health benefits. Catechins can suppress the growth of bacteria, potentially reducing the risk of mouth infections and bad breath.
