Nutty & Malty Comfort with Metropolitan Tea Japan Kukicha

The Metropolitan Tea Japan Kukicha Green Loose Leaf Tea delivers a distinctive Japanese green tea profile with lightly vegetative notes that transition into a smooth, malty finish. Subtle nutty character and gentle creamy notes create a clean and satisfying cup.

Produced in Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture, this green tea is crafted from the stalks, stems, and twigs traditionally separated during Sencha production. The tea is steamed to halt fermentation before further processing, resulting in its characteristic pale yellow-green infusion and distinctive flavor.
