Kukicha, or stem tea, is made from different varieties of tea stems. Aiya’s Kukicha is a blend of stems from Gyokuro and Sencha. Most of the Kukicha available in the market is made from stems of Sencha; however, Aiya’s Kukicha contains over 50% of Gyokuro stems for a more natural sweetness and rich aroma.
