About This Tea
What does Lingzhi Xiang Tea Stem taste like?
This Kukicha delivers a unique and intriguing aroma, blending the refreshing, light-bodied character of tea stems with an unexpected, deeply earthy and subtly sweet fragrance reminiscent of Lingzhi mu. It leans earthy, woody and sweet.
How should I brew Lingzhi Xiang Tea Stem?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Lingzhi Xiang Tea Stem come from?
Grown in Japan.
