Bancha, a traditionally produced Japanese green tea, is the perfect choice for the evening. It originates from the larger leaves of the tea plant, which, unlike other Japanese teas, are not shaded. This natural cultivation method gives Bancha its special character, which impresses with its reduced caffeine content. This makes it the ideal companion for anyone who doesn't want to miss out on the pleasure of tea in the evening hours.
A taste profile that delights
Bancha is harvested in spring, a time when the leaves are at their full freshness and strength. The careful processing, which is otherwise only used for fine teas such as Sencha or Kabusecha, makes the Bancha shine bright green in the cup. Its mild, harmonious aroma seduces the senses and offers both families and beginners a wonderful introduction to the multifaceted world of Japanese tea culture.
Recommendations for preparation
The gentle elegance of bancha unfolds when prepared with 1 to 2 teaspoons per 200 milliliters of water. Make sure to cool the water to a temperature of between 55 and 75 degrees Celsius to get the full flavor. The first infusion only needs 50 seconds to infuse, while subsequent infusions only need 10 seconds.
