Like sencha green tea, there are myriad health benefits of kukicha tea. It is made by first steaming the harvested plant. The twigs are sun dried and then stored in paper bags for two to three years, allowing the flavor to develop. Following the aging process, they are cut to specific lengths, and then grouped according to their grade. Each grade of Kukicha is roasted for different durations and temperatures in order to end with the consistent desired taste of kukicha twig tea - light, nutty and slightly creamy.
In Japan, kukicha still carries the stigma of a poor man's beverage, but in the West, this Japanese tea has been embraced for its remarkable ability to stabilize health and promote longevity, as well as for its rich taste. It plays a central role in the macrobiotic diet, which is based on the belief that balance is the key to optimum well-being. The macrobiotic diet consists of mostly whole grains, fruits and vegetables, legumes and seaweed, with kukicha as one of the recommended beverages.
