Green bancha tea BIO 60 g

Product description

Organic green tea made from mature second and third harvest leaves harvested from the same bushes as Sencha leaves. Bancha is a popular everyday tea in Japan. Leaves from the summer and autumn harvests from which it is naturally made contain less caffeine (twice as much as Sencha or Gyokuro), less aromatics for more tannins, which gives Bancha its distinct flavor. In Japan, it is often served with meals. Its relatively low caffeine content means it is often drunk in the evening. The lower amount of caffeine (or theine, as this compound found in tea is often called) also results in a less bitter tea infusion compared to Sencha. The name Bancha comes from the words "ban" and "cha." "Cha" in Japanese means tea. The word "ban"(番), on the other hand, has a double meaning. It can be understood as equivalent to "ordinary," "popular" or "everyday." On the other hand, "ban" written as 晩o the same pronunciation means "late" and refers to the late harvest from which the leaves that make up Bancha come. Bancha gained popularity during the Edo era and is today the second most widely drunk green tea in Japan. There are more than 20 types of Bancha with different degrees of fermentation and from different regions. Bancha is a tea often recommended in vegan diets because it is the richest source of plant-based iron (38mg / 100g Bancha). Moya Bancha comes from small family farms in Kagoshima Prefecture on the island of Kiushu.
