The bancha: a mild masterpiece from Japan
The Bancha tea from the Japan Tea Shop takes you into the fascinating world of Japanese tea culture. This organically grown green tea from Yame in Fukuoka Prefecture impresses with its unmistakable taste, which is characterized by a harmonious balance between fruity lightness and mild subtlety. Its gentle aroma makes it a popular everyday companion, especially in the mountainous regions of Japan, where nature shapes people's lives.
Tradition meets modernity in Bancha tea
In contrast to conventional bancha teas, which are harvested later in the year, this tea comes from a June harvest. At this time, the tea leaves are still young and strong, which gives the bancha an exceptional character and puts it on a par with high-quality sencha. The careful processing and artful tea-making combine in this bancha to create an excellent refinement of the flavor profile.
With a reduced caffeine content, this tea offers a pleasant change from other varieties such as Sencha or Gyokuro, making it particularly digestible and attractive to a wider target group.
Aesthetic anticipation before the infusion
Even in uninfused form, the large, untreated tea leaves release an intense green tea fragrance. The interplay of light and dark green leaves creates a special visual experience.
A feast for the senses after infusion
After infusion, the tea is a radiant, jade yellow-green. The fragrance remains unadulterated green and clear, while the taste impresses with delicately tart, silky smooth notes with a short finish.
