Such a perfect afternoon pick me up. My go to tea for after lunch.
Low in caffeine but still gives a nice calm alertness and the flavor is clean, minerally (in a good way) and just overall tastes fresh, healthy and delicious.
Enjoy!

I’m really enjoying this Kukicha! It has a wonderful, sweet, sort of roasted flavor. The low caffeine is an added bonus if you’re somebody like me who enjoys drinking tea throughout the day. It’s also said to have an alkalizing effect on the body and digestion, which is a thumbs up!
