Bonus Tea for December 2020!
My original intention with this green Kukicha was to reblend the very popular Lemon-Lime Meringue Kukicha – unfortunately, I didn’t have enough lime for that tea to reblend it. Since I had the kukicha & I had lemon, a little bit of lime, some orange as well as some grapefruit – I decided to instead make a citrus-y kukicha featuring all these citrus-y flavors – with an emphasis on the brighter notes of grapefruit & lemon with some undertones of sweetness from the orange.
The flavors of this tea are bright & citrus-y – but not too sour or tart. You get a nice punch of grapefruit & lemon, while the orange notes subdue those tart notes just enough to avoid a pucker. The kukicha is fresh & sweet. It’s a very pleasant cuppa that’s naturally low in caffeine. It’s also organic, VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen free!
