 I Love Kukicha!May 09, 2007
By P. Luttrell
Kukicha, and Eden Kukicha in particular, is an old and trusted friend of mine. When prepared well (and there may be many alternatives to skillfully preparing this brew) it has a mildly rich and mellow flavor that is very settling to both mind and body. A great follow-up to sushi with pickled ginger (an Eden-style treat to be sure) or (perhaps a more distant match but equally well suited) to good chocolate, it is my favorite beverage for many and most occasions.
To maximize that rcih and mellow flavor, prepare several cups at a time by boiling water (for optimal results, use a pyrex or other non-metallic pot) and steeping one teabag per cup. When I am thinking ahead and have the time, I make a quart in a saucepan in the evening, keeping the water just below boiling for a few minutes after the four teabags have been added for the tea to really brew. Then allowing it to stand overnight, it mellows and loses that tannic edge. In the morning, I re-heat and put in a thermos to enjoy through the day. You may find with this method that you can use only two or three teabags per quart of water to get the flavor you like.
Or, for more immediate resutls on a cup-by-cup basis, pre-heat your cup with some hot water, then discard the water and fill with just-boiled water, add a teabag, and allow to steep until it has cooled to drinking temperature, at which time the teabag can be removed.
Kukicha has health benefits, too. For one, it can help to neutralize the stomach.
Hope you enjoy this good tea as much as I do! I give Eden five stars for consistently having that rich and mellow quality that I like so much in this tea, and also for the good wrapping it puts its teabags in, which I think must help preserve freshness and flavor.

High Quality Control = Loyal CustomerDec 02, 2011
By W. Wilson
I've been drinking Eden bagged teas since I saw them in a health food store in the 1990s.
While the sencha and genmaicha are good (there are many brands of sencha out there, and I'm spoiled by the loose genmaicha from Tealuxe), in my opinion the Eden kukicha is outstanding. It's so good that I'm reluctant to try another bagged brand; however, I do look forward someday to trying the Eden loose kukicha tea.
This Eden kukicha has the same very complex, earthy aroma and flavor that it had in the 1990s. I'm pleased that Eden has maintained high standards for this tea.
Eden kukicha is almost impossible to ruin: I let water come to a good boil and steep the bag for at least 4-5 minutes.
Enjoy!

 Not my cup of teaDec 10, 2011
By Cedar
This tea has a strong and deep earthy taste. I'm not a big fan of the taste, I bought it once and won't buy it again. If you've ever had oolong tea before, know that it tastes very much like oolong. Personal preferences on taste aside, the tea is just fine. The quality is good and the bags are individually wrapped.

Cure for sore throatsFeb 06, 2009
By Kyle Smeby
"kyle78"
For about 5 years, especially during the winter months, I used to come down with several very painful sore throats, many of which would escalate into strep throat or a sinus infection. I haven't had one since I started drinking Kukicha tea 2 years ago. It's isn't carried in many stores so I'm glad I can get it through Amazon now and that it's eligible for free shipping.
I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice, but if you are having a problem with sore throats this is worth a shot.
