Details
A mild and nutty tea with sweet flavors and creamy undertones, this Numi organic kukicha tea is a great accompaniment to any meal. Grown in an isolated area of Shizuoka, Japan, this tea is harvested and processed on a small fourth generation farm that was one of the first certified organic tea farms in a Japan. A well-rounded, premium product, this roasted Japanese tea is created by steaming and rolling the stems, twigs, and stalks of the plant after harvest, then roasting them at a medium temperature to rid the leaves of their bitterness and give the tea its rich flavor. Once brewed, it contains low caffeine levels for a relaxing transition into any part of your day.
This Numi tea is perfect whether served hot or iced. To serve hot, boil one cup of water, allow it to cool slightly, then steep 1 bag of tea for 1-2 minutes. Once ready, it's strong enough to handle milk, yet mild enough to be served alone. To make iced tea, boil water, allow to cool, steep in 2 tea bags, and pour over ice.
As an alternative to brewing hot, try cold-brewing this tea. Cold-brewing is the easiest way to make never-bitter iced tea with bright flavors. It works for any type of tea, too! Simply steep 4 tea bags in 3 cups of cold water for 8-10 hours in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator and squeeze the tea bag before removing. Try adding in flavorful fruits or herbs for an unexpected infusion, or create a unique flavor by mixing different teas.
