Bancha - Japanese Green Tea

About Our Japanese Bancha Green Tea

Originating from the lush tea gardens of ancient Japan, Japanese Bancha Green Tea is a beloved traditional tea that has stood the test of time. Known for its low caffeine content and high catechin levels, Bancha offers a perfect balance for those looking for a gentle yet flavorful tea experience. Its refreshing, light taste makes it an ideal choice to enjoy throughout the day—whether in the morning, after a meal, or as a relaxing evening tea.

A Rich History and Process

Bancha is harvested from the same plant as Sencha but is collected later in the growing season, giving it a distinct flavor profile. The tea leaves are carefully plucked from older leaves and gently processed to preserve their natural antioxidants. The leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried to maintain their freshness and essential nutrients. This method ensures a high-quality tea with a mild yet satisfying taste.

Health Benefits of Bancha Green Tea

Bancha's high catechin content makes it a powerhouse of antioxidants, helping support healthy metabolism and potentially assisting in fat reduction. The low caffeine content makes it suitable for those sensitive to caffeine or anyone seeking a mild energy boost without the jitters. Additionally, the tea is known to support digestive health, promote hydration, and contribute to overall wellness.
