Why Choose Our Teas
Potential Health Benefit
Calm Focus
Kukicha’s high L-Theanine content can promote relaxed alertness and enhances focus without the jitters associated with higher caffeine teas, making it ideal for mid-day clarity.
Bone and Dental Health
Rich in calcium and fluoride, Kukicha supports strong bones and teeth. A single cup may contain more calcium than several glasses of milk, promoting skeletal health.
Heart Health
Catechins and EGCG in Kukicha may improve blood vessel function, reduce LDL cholesterol, and help maintain healthy blood pressure for cardiovascular wellness.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Kukicha tea can regulate blood sugar by slowing sugar absorption and enhancing insulin sensitivity, offering benefits for managing pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Defense
Polyphenols and ellagitannin in Kukicha can combat oxidative stress and may reduce inflammation, supporting overall health and potentially aiding in cancer prevention.
Skin Health
Antioxidants in Kukicha can reduce acne, may improve skin elasticity, and slow aging signs, promoting a youthful complexion.
Oral Health
Fluoride and calcium in Kukicha green tea can strengthen enamel, prevent cavities, and support bone density, contributing to a healthy smile.
Digestive Support
Kukicha’s alkalizing properties can balance body pH, reduce acidity, and support gut health, while stimulating bile production aids fat digestion and promotes a healthy microbiome.
Immune System Boost
Kukicha's antibacterial and antiviral compounds, along with vitamin C and zinc, strengthen immune defenses and support faster recovery from infections.
Neuroprotective Effects
EGCG and L-Theanine may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, enhancing brain health.
Hydration & Electrolyte Balance
Low caffeine and minerals like potassium and magnesium may support hydration, helping prevent cramps and fatigue.
Natural Detoxification
Kukicha supports liver and kidney function with a mild diuretic effect, reducing water retention and aiding gentle detoxification.
Gut Microbiome Support
Ellagitannins in Kukicha green tea may promote beneficial gut bacteria, reducing bloating, gas, and indigestion for a healthier digestive tract.
pH Balancing & Anti-Acidic
Kukicha’s alkalizing effect neutralizes excess acidity from processed foods, supporting acid reflux relief and overall balance.
