Originally considered a peasant’s tea because it is composed of the twigs and stems as well as the leaves of the tea plant, Kukicha is now seen as a delicacy and is revered for its well-rounded flavor, powerful health benefits and overall balancing effect on the body. For the smoothest flavor, allow freshly boiled water to cool several minutes (to approximately 180°F) before brewing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINGREDIENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Green Tea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tea is made from 100% natural ingredients.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJapan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUICK BREWING GUIDE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater Temperature: 180°F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoons per 16 oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteep Time: 2-3 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeneral Guide:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water.
