Details:It is amazing what a few weeks can do. 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 By the time the Bancha harvest begins, the smoother-tasting polyphenols in the leaves have been replaced by harsher ones, and the leaves have lost amino acids that create sweetness and body.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.
Dry Leaves:Bancha consists of wide leaves mixed with stalks, ranging in color from sage green to khaki.
Liquor:Bright yellow.
Aroma:Bancha is a summer-grown tea, so it is lively and grassy. It is as if someone had turned up the volume on a Sencha.
Flavors:Japanese Bancha has lighter vegetal flavors of grass, celery, and wet wood, yet it is very assertive.
Caffeine Level:Caffeinated
Body:Light-bodied due to its big leaves and occasional stems.
