about the tea
Kukicha, literally "stem tea", is made from the stems of green tea leaves. Kukicha is made with flavourful first flush leaves, with the stems carefully separated during the production process. The tea is crafted from the popular Yabukita cultivar. The resulting tea is made completely of small but whole stems, producing a brilliantly bright green appearance and a bright, rich aroma. The flavour is sweet and grassy with fresh citrus notes and a hint of seaweed. Cultivation and Certification: Certified Organic by Ecocert for Canada Organic Regime and USDA. Note: This product ships in organic certified packaging only in Canada and the United States. It ships in conventional packaging in the UK and Europe.

Toshiaki Kinezuka
NaturaliTea, Japan
Meet Toshiaki Kinezuka of NaturaliTea, who started organic tea farming in 1976 when organic tea was unheard off. Starting off, Toshiaki had a very hard time: he was fired from the farmers’ association, and many who didn't like his practices had fun watching him have problems with pests and disease on his tea field. At first, he was producing "brown tea" instead of green tea. However, little by little Toshiaki learned how to grow organic tea. Some farmers who understood Toshiaki’s idea also switched to organic. They created a group, and eventually created NaturaliTea. Toshiaki is now 74 years old and continues to work hard in the tea fields every day.
