Bancha

Green Tea, Japan (Organic)

Immerse yourself in the world of authentic Japanese tea culture with our organic Bancha green tea. This exceptional tea embodies the tradition and craftsmanship of Japanese green tea.

Origin

Our organic Bancha green tea is sourced from meticulously tended, certified organic tea gardens in Japan. These gardens are nestled in the heart of the Japanese countryside, known for their pristine beauty and dedication to eco-friendly cultivation.

Harvesting Process

Bancha, or “common tea,” represents the late-season harvest of tea leaves. These leaves are carefully plucked after the more famous Sencha harvest, resulting in a unique flavour profile. Bancha is celebrated for its slightly robust and earthy character, making it a beloved everyday tea in Japan.

Taste Profile

Breathe in the comforting, earthy aroma that emanates from the leaves, evoking the tranquillity of Japanese tea gardens.

Bancha’s leaves, large and slightly coarse, infuse to create a soothing and balanced flavour that captures the essence of Japan. Experience a harmonious blend of mild astringency and gentle sweetness, typical of this unique green tea.

The tea ends with a clean, crisp finish, leaving a sense of calm and relaxation with every sip.

Cultural Significance

Bancha holds a special place in Japanese tea culture, symbolising simplicity and the beauty of imperfection. It’s a tea that embodies the Japanese concept of ‘wabi-sabi’, finding beauty in the imperfect, transient, and natural.
