I love Japanese green tea, and the kukicha has got to be the best Japanese green tea I have had to date. First, the dried leaves are a beautiful light green color and the aroma is very grassy and reminds me of matcha. The liquor is a very neon-green: so beautiful in a white, porcelain cup. The taste is very brothy and “umami”.

My experiences with Pu’erh were not the best. But this blend of dark chocolate and Pu’erh is really amazing. The dark chocolate goes very well with Pu’erh and it settles the hay/barn yard aroma I get with pure pu’erh. I think this is a great tea to have in the colder months of the year.

My past experiences with Genmaicha were never really good. I always thought the rice grains were too strong of a taste. But I was really surprised at how good this blend was. First, the matcha makes the liquor a beautiful very vibrant green color. I think the matcha smooths the taste of the rice grains out and turns this blend to have a very light and nutty aroma.
