I love the taste of Kukicha in tea bag form from a different company, and was looking to try a blend of loose tea. I am very pleased with this tea; the roasted blend gives the tea a deeper tone. I especially love the fact that even after leaving the stems steeping for hours, there is virtually no acidity, and the tea tastes very good iced as well. Thank you for a great cup of tea.

Having grown up on iced tea it was not until recently that I discovered the art of steeping different teas. I have tried many loose teas since from various tea shops. This tea though is my very favorite. Steeped at the right temperature this tea is amazing. I love the full bodied flavor with the undertones of nuttiness. I also love that it is so low in caffeine. If you have only had bagged black tea's try this. It is a wonderful transition and introduction tea.
