About This Tea
What does taste like?
This light-bodied Kukicha from Nilgiri presents a smooth and silky texture with inviting aromas of herbs, fruits, and flowers. The palate opens with a distinct hazelnut note, evolving into sweet brown. It leans nutty, herbal and sweet.
How should I brew ?
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 come from?
Grown in Nilgiri, India. The leaves got a medium roast after picking.
How much does cost?
Starts at $10.14 from Tea Gardenia, or about $0.20/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.20 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
