I'm not crazy about most green teas since a lot of them can be too strong, but I found the flavors in this tea to be very refreshing and not overwhelming. So if you're looking for a more smoky/earthy green tea, this may not be what you want. I love that they provide some background on the family owned farm in Japan, and that the product is listed as USDA Organic, which gives me confidence in the quality and safety of the tea. As for price, I think it's on the expensive side, but considering it's imported from a farm in Japan and meets USDA Organic regulations (which is not cheap to get), I think the price is justified. This is a specialty high-grade tea and is priced accordingly, so it will not be as cheap as your usual grocery store Lipton packets (which are not great quality anyways, so not a fair comparison). And if you're wondering about what looks like stems in the tea - that is intentional, and for some kinds of tea stems are intentionally added to curate a certain flavor. That is the case for this tea and does not indicate low quality or anything nefarious. The specific blend is "Kukicha" (aka 'twig tea' which is a blend of stems, stalks, and twigs of the tea plant), Yuzu Peel, and Matcha. Review: Appealing tea, I would describe this as a gentle tea - Nice tea that is not too sweet, barely astringent, and little roasty-tasting with a fruit aftertaste. The box instructions are: 1 tea bag, 12 ounces water at 185degF, steeped for 1-2 minutes. That method makes a good cup of tea, maybe I will experiemtnas I go through the rest of the box. I have made a second cup with the same tea bag and would try a third, just have not been in a situation to do so. I have been so spoiled by using a thermometer when making tea, I find 140degF is a good sipping temperature so I never burn my tongue tasting tea any more! This tea is a product of Japan. The American distributor address is on the box, with the Sugimoto website.. There is a best by date on the bottom of the box (in 2025 for the box I received). The box says each tea bag contains 2.5 g. There are 12 tea bags together in a sealed foil/mylar bag inside the box, just like the listing pictures. I like the mouth feel/aftertaste of this tea. Box says try it iced but I'm enjoying it too much as hot tea to do that. Responding to another review, Kukicha green tea is intentionally made with a blend of stems, stalks, and leaves. It is not necessarily a lower grade green tea, just a different style. ## Features - JAPANESE ORGANIC YUZU MATCHA KUKICHA TEA BAGS - 12 Count Pack of 1 Unsweetened Sugar Free Citrus Aroma and Mild Sweet Twig Tea in Tea Bag Format - REFRESHING YUZU MATCHA KUKICHA BLEND - This unique blend combines the umami flavor of matcha, the natural sweetness of kukicha, and the tartness of Japanese yuzu peel for a delightful and invigorating tea experience. - RICH IN L-THEANINE AND LOW IN CAFFEINE - Made primarily from tea stems, Kukicha has a higher concentration of L-theanine which is one of Antioxidant and a lower caffeine content compared to leaf-only green teas, providing a naturally sweet and relaxing experience without inducing sleepiness. - BEST FOR BOTH HOT AND COLD BREW - This premium Japanese green teas can be served hot or as ice cold brewed beverage as well. - PREMIUM QUALITY AND FRESHNESS - The tea bags are nitrogen flushed and vacuum sealed in foil bags to ensure maximum freshness and preserve the tea's delicate flavors and aromas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C1T7L9WW | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #52,638 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #360 in Matcha Tea | | Brand | SUGIMOTO TEA | | Brand Name | SUGIMOTO TEA | | Caffeine Content Description | Low Caffeine | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 15 Reviews | | Each Unit Count | 12.0 | | Flavor | Organic Yuzu Matcha Kukicha | | Item Dimensions | 3.15 x 3.15 x 2.76 inches | | Item Form | Teabags | | Item Volume | 354.88 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Sugimoto Seicha USA, Inc. | | Number of Items | 12 | | Product Benefits | Promote Relaxation, Increase Energy | | Special Ingredients | Green Tea | | Specialty | Natural, Organic | | Sweetness Description | Naturally Sweet | | Tea Variety | Green | | UPC | 725414578432 | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | ## Images ![Japanese Organic Yuzu Kukicha with Matcha Green 12 Tea Bags - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QkL5VcN0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is your tea grown?** A: Our teas are grown in Shizuoka, Japan — a region known for its pristine mountain air, mineral-rich soil, and centuries-old tea cultivation tradition.

Curious what grade of tea this is. Decent flavor and color but perhaps that's because they use matcha in the bags as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - SUGIMOTO TEA Japanese Organic Yuzu Matcha Kukicha Green Tea Bags 12 Count Pack of 1 - SUGIMOTO TEA Japanese Sencha Green Tea Sencha Tea Bags 20 Count Pack of 1 - SUGIMOTO TEA Japanese Organic Daily Matcha Powder 2.0 oz (57 g) Unsweetened Green Tea Powder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/534115998-japanese-organic-yuzu-kukicha-with-matcha-green-12-tea-bags](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/534115998-japanese-organic-yuzu-kukicha-with-matcha-green-12-tea-bags) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
