Bancha Green Tea
*For retail orders only. See our return policy for more details.
Most Japanese teas are made from well-handled leaves and much of their elegance and style is due to the processing: steaming immediately after plucking and then air drying. The leaves to produce Bancha are generally plucked after the new season and tend to be more coarse. This gives the tea its unique character and visual appearance. Since the leaves are more coarse also containing some stalks and stems the resulting tea generally has less caffeine or tannin then the finer grades of Japanese tea. The cup tends to be somewhat milder.
Tea has always had a place in Japanese life. It has been used to show respect to honored guests, as a medicinal drink to aid digestion after meals and in the 'tea ceremony'.
