Bancha Dried Leaves Loose Leaf Herbal Tea ~  Bancha Green Tea

Origin: China.

The Japanese Bancha is the second most popular green tea in Japan after Sencha and is considered the quintessential “everyday tea.” It is produced from the ripest and largest leaves that are harvested later in the season (summer and fall), which gives it a distinctive, earthy character.

Characteristics & Taste

Taste Profile: It has a fresh, grassy and slightly nutty flavor with a mild sweetness. It is less astringent and bitter than Sencha due to the maturity of the leaves.
