FAQ

1. What is kuwacha powder? Kuwacha is Japanese mulberry leaf tea, a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea made from the leaves of the mulberry tree. It contains no tea leaves, so it is not a green tea, even though it has a similar vivid green color and fresh flavor. Kuwacha powder is mulberry leaves ground into a fine powder, so you drink the whole leaf without steeping or straining. Yedoensis Kuwacha Powder is organic, ready to mix with water or milk in seconds.

2. Is mulberry leaf tea made from mulberry fruit? No. Kuwacha is made from the leaves of the mulberry tree, not the berries, so it does not taste fruity. Its flavor is fresh and green, similar to a mild green tea.

3. What is the history of mulberry leaves in Japan? Mulberry trees have a long history in Japan, where their leaves were the food of silkworms during the country’s centuries-old silk industry. Mulberry leaves have also been enjoyed as a tea in Japan for generations.

4. How should I store this product? We recommend that you store your kuwacha away from light and sealed firmly in a cool environment. Placing it in the refrigerator is best to maximize freshness.

5. Is kuwacha a good matcha alternative? Yes. Kuwacha has a bright green color and fresh, grassy flavor similar to matcha, but with no caffeine and less bitterness. It is a popular choice for green lattes and smoothies for people who want the look and taste of matcha without the caffeine.

6. Can I cook or bake with kuwacha powder? Yes. Kuwacha powder adds a natural green color and mild flavor to cookies, cakes, ice cream, smoothies, and pancakes. It is a great caffeine-free substitute for matcha in recipes.

7. The serving sizes are too small/large, what should I do? Japanese palates often 2 grams per serving so this is what we used as our guideline. However, a benefit of powdered tea is that this can be altered to the level of your choosing. If you prefer a stronger or lighter taste, feel free to adjust tea and water levels accordingly.

8. Are all these teas gluten free? Yes, all the teas included in the Classic Collection are gluten free.
