TEA TIME
My favorite tea this month is from Mitoku. It is called Nagata Organic Brown Rice Kukicha and it tastes like happy twigs. I thoroughly enjoy it.
An interesting quote from the Mitoku Company: "In Japan, kukicha has been stigmatized as a poor man's drink, because,
like brown rice, it brings back memories of the days of deprivation
during and after World War II. Macrobiotics founder George Ohsawa
introduced kukicha to the West forty years ago. Since it contains only
one-tenth the caffeine of sencha and because it is the most alkalinizing
Japanese tea, Ohsawa considered it to be the most balanced beverage.
Indeed, kukicha is an excellent complement to the grain-based, mostly
vegetarian diet he advocated."
