Bancha literally means nothing other than "ordinary tea" ( Japanese: 番茶, 番 [= ordinary] and 茶 [= tea]). The selection of the tea is important here, because our AKI BANCHA PREMIUM ORGANIC is harvested in autumn (Japanese:秋 "Aki" [= autumn]) and is characterized by its large leaves.
Bancha is the second most popular type of tea in Japan, is particularly suitable as an everyday tea and is now also a daily companion for tea lovers outside Japan.
This wonderful green tea from Japan has a mild and harmonious aroma with little caffeine. In a light cup, the delicately bitter taste with sweet umami notes is a real treat!
mild, umami
