Kagoshima Kukicha

Our favourite kukicha from Kagoshima contains an unusually large number of leaves in addition to the stems. Very fresh grassy taste with a distinct umami. Also great for cold brew.

Radek's favourite Cold Brew preparation:

10g of tea into your favourite container, which has at least 0.5 litres (sometimes I put it in a jar). Pour in filtered water (I personally don't boil it), close the lid as tea likes to absorb other smells and tastes from the fridge, and pop it in the fridge. I leave the tea for at least 8 hours, otherwise, it's too weak.

I know people who only infuse tea once and then throw away the leaves. Personally, after every glass of cold brew, I always refill the container with water and drink it until I like the taste, but for a maximum of 5 days.
