Our Review

It is amazing what difference a few weeks make. Banchas are made of large, tougher leaves. As the season wears on, the chemical composition of the leaves changes. By the time the Bancha harvest begins the smoother-tasting polyphenols in the leaves have been replaced by harsher ones, and the leaves have lost amino acids that create sweetness and body. Bancha yields a grassier, lighter-bodied tea. Being an organic tea only accentuates the lightness.

Light, delicious tea

Average Review:

I love this tea, it quickly became my favorite. It a little more grassy tasting and light. Since I like stronger teas, I brew it with a teaspoon and a half.
