Twig Kukicha From Choice Organic

I've always wondered: what is twig tea, anyway? Then I read about kukicha, as it's also known. Guess what? Turns out the tiny branches of the Camellia sinensis plant are pretty darn delicious. Whenever I need to feel restored, I hover over a warm mug of this tea ($5 for 16 tea bags), which smells and tastes reminiscent of toasted, puffed rice.

Nikkisoda, next time! It's great: so mellow and wholesome-tasting. I feel like new life is coursing through my veins when I drink it!

I just had that same twig tea in my hand yesterday, I put it back down. Dang. Now I wish I would have purchased it. Next time.
