Kukicha (茎茶), also known as Bōcha (棒茶), is a Japanese tea. The tea is a blend of stalks, stems and twigs. Mostly it's processed to green tea but is also more oxidized available. Kukicha has a unique flavor among Japanese teas and a lower content of [[caffeine]] due to use of stems and twigs. | |||
Regular Kukicha material comes from [[Sencha]] production. When coming from [[Gyokuro]]'s production, it's called Karigane (雁ヶ音/かりがね) or Shiraore (白折/しらおれ). | |||
