It was only recently that I learned of kukicha tea, a Japanese tea also known as twig tea. The twigs of the Cameliua sinensi are steamed and fried, then aged and roasted. The tea has a pleasant nutty flavour which I find quite appealing. And if simply the flavour wasn't enough, the tea is filled with many healthy properties: vitamin A, B1, B2 and C, as well as zinc, copper, selenium and manganese, Rich in antioxidants, it is low in caffeine. This tea is quite different from any of the others that I've tried and is one of my favorites.
