Kukicha Baton tea is green tea from Japan that is an unusual combination of green leaves and thin white twigs. It is made of four sorts of stems, stalks and twigs of Camellia sinensis.

Kukicha has a nutty, slightly creamy flavor. For best results, Kukicha is steeped in water between 70°C to 80°C (155°F - 180°F) for three minutes - otherwise, like all green teas, the result will be a bitter, unsavoury brew. Kukicha is a powerful antioxidant and is very low in caffeine, in fact the lowest in caffeine of all traditional teas. Kukicha has also been known to be effective at inducing labor.
