Unlike most green teas made from leaves, kukicha is made from the stems and twigs. We gently roast those stems until they develop a warm, caramel-nut overtone and an inviting, bakery-like aroma that even coffee drinkers reach for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat it is:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A specialty green tea made only from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems \u0026amp; twigs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of the tea plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoonoor, Nilgiris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (India's Blue Mountains).

That makes it a friendly option for late afternoons, gentle mornings, and anyone who wants flavour without the jitter. Roasting reduces a little of the antioxidant punch compared to raw green teas, but it also produces aromatic compounds that promote calm, comforting sensations — the kind of cup that relaxes rather than revs. (Not medical advice — just good tea facts.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xah","offers":[{"title":"50 gm","offer_id":47820704121054,"sku":"GT-RGT-COO-50","price":349.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 gm","offer_id":47820704153822,"sku":"GT-RGT-COO-100","price":575.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 gm","offer_id":47820704284894,"sku":"GT-RGT-COO-20","price":149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/2507\/6958\/files\/RoastedGreenTea1.png?v=1778037349","url":"https:\/\/xah.co.in\/products\/roasted-green-tea-kukicha","provider":"Xah","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
