Kukicha is mellow - not crisp and fresh like the gyokuro, lighter than Sencha but rather smooth with a subtle sweetnesss. Very relaxing flavor. It does get slightly more astringent as it cools, but never turns bitter. Great as late afternoon or evening tea. Great taste for the price. A good everyday green tea. Karigane Sencha (kuki, stem tea) are not well known as much as Sencha, however once people acquainted with Karigane Sencha often repeat the same product because of the flavor and it is an excellent value.
