Like Sencha, Japanese Bancha is steamed to prevent the oxidation of the leaves. Bancha is usually harvested after Sencha and Tencha, between May and June. Because the older leaves of the fresh shoots are used for processing, the caffeine content is significantly lower than in other green teas. This makes it perfectly suitable for enjoyment even in the late afternoon. In terms of taste, its character expresses itself in a mild, slightly spicy, and subtly tart note.

Bancha is a very versatile tea and is popular as a base for flavored teas, often including Genmaicha. Our nutty Hōjicha is also a roasted Bancha. It is also recommended to use Bancha yourself for blending and experimenting.
