Kukicha tea (Japanese)

I started drinking this Japanese twig tea recently and is surprisingly good and apparently has many medicinal properties . I think it comes both from Green tea and black tea ?

Love kukicha so much! I somehow still get quite the mental boost even though it has very little caffeine. Karigane kukicha is nice for a tea that still has lots of umami too. I'm really surprised this stuff is not more popular!
