Kokeicha has a smooth light liquor with slight green character-tending to sweet taste. Kokeicha is a specialty Japanese tea prepared from the same tea leaves crushed to a fine green tea powder and used in tea ceremonies. A special process whereby water is added to the tea powder, kneaded, extruded through a machine (similar to making fresh pasta) and finally dried to result in a 'pine needle' like form. Thus Kokeicha translated from Japanese means ﾓformed tea
