The November Tea Tourist Subscription box contains Kukicha, an unusual Japanese green tea made from branches and stems of the tea plant. Its predominant toasted flavour carries undertones of grassiness, nut and smoke, weirdly giving it a coffee like twang!
I enjoyed this: Friday mornings. I have a weekly Friday meeting that starts first thing, so I get up extra early. Despite not liking actual coffee, the similarity in essence was the perfect kick in the morning.
Flavors: Coffee, Grass, Nuts, Smoke, Toasted
