This uniquely creamy emerald green blend is comprised of an exceptional grade of Matcha powder combined with delicately roasted Kukicha. It is a great tea for macrobiotic diets. By combining Matcha with Kukicha, or Japanese Twig Tea, you get the best of both worlds: a creamy texture with the full flavor of green tea. It's a health lover's delight!

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

I can understand why some people may dislike this very grassy tea, but I think it's wonderful. I often drink it plain, since it's smooth and creamy on its own, but adding a bit of sugar or honey and a splash of milk can really enhance its flavor and texture - and cover up the tea's bitterness if you let it steep for a little too long! I can typically get two brews out of the leaves, but any more and the flavor is very watery.

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

If you're an avid drinker of green tea than by all means listen to the previous reviews.
However, if you're not, be warned that this tea is how I imagine swamp water would taste like. I recommend sampling a sweeter blend if you wish to get started drinking green tea.
If nothing else, it produces a very bright, very cool shade of green in your cup. :)

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

I absolutely love matcha and good green tea. This matches both together. The flavor is fantastic but brew needs attention - you don't want to over brew. Like mentioned above while that matcha gives such creamy feel and smooth taste it's a one time use since it's powder base - you could always add just matcha powder to it after each brew. The other down side to this tea is I find the need to turn my tin a few times (gently of course) before I scoop out what I need to get a nice even dispersion of the matcha powder.

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

This is a very good, very earthy green tea. The only downside to it is that it's only good for a couple of steepings due to the matcha powder on it that provides a lot of the flavor. After that, you get a very washed out flavor.

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

I've tried all the green teas teavana has and while Sencha is my daily morning brew I like the creaminess the matcha adds. It really rounds out the flavor and creates a very smooth tea.

Be warned this tea brews to what my friends and I call Radioactive Green in color; it looks really cool!

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

Very flavorful, full-bodied green tea. Unadorned, has a very grassy flavor; I prefer it with a touch of honey and lemon. Extremely refreshing and energizing, it tastes good cold as well. Great price. Sure to become one of my staples.

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

This is a great tea. I enjoy green tea latte's from [...]and sencha green tea from teavana and this tea is a mix of both. I though the matcha powder would make the tea chalky but it did the opposite. The tea is creamy, smooth and earthly. Excellent choice for green tea lovers and health conscience.

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

Really flavorful green tea, I think the matcha adds quite a bit but I agree that it does need to be stirred a bit to keep it well mixed...beautiful color in the cup, but don't oversteep it or use water that's too hot...1-2 mins is plenty, follow the instructions or you will have a bitter cup of tea...

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

Overall, a nice blend here. However, I find that the kukicha is not as pronounced as I was hoping. But, I love the addition of the matcha! Great idea. Helps create a very creamy, round cup. I will try different brewing temps, and see if I can bring out the kuki a bit more. Enjoy!

Comments about Teavana Kuki Matcha Green Tea:

I think you need to stir it as you go, because the end of the cup can be bitter. I added Dr. Weil's honey that is sold by Origins organic skin care line. I felt energized after drinking the tea.
