Vendor Notes
This Kukicha offers a soft, inviting sweetness with prominent fruity undertones, making it distinctly smoother than many Senchas. There's a delightful hint of a toasty aroma, bringing a comforting warmth to the bright, refreshing liquor. Brew it cooler for a deeper umami or hotter for a more vibrant, uplifting experience.
