Organic Bancha Tea: a mild Chinese tea rich in flavors

Bancha tea is prepared from the same tea leaves used for Sencha. The main difference is that it comes from a later harvest, which usually takes place in autumn. In Japan, it is highly appreciated and drunk daily. Bancha green tea contains little caffeine. Its taste is particularly delicate and refined on the palate. It is made with large leaves from older tea plants and not with young shoots like most other teas. This is what gives it its deep green color and high nutrient content.

The benefits and virtues of Bancha tea

The organic Bancha tea is renowned for its benefits. When consumed regularly, it promotes well-being for various reasons. Rich in tannins, it's excellent for digestion as it helps relieve heartburn thanks to its deacidifying power. Moreover, it is loaded with trace elements and minerals. Its iron content makes it a perfect ally for people suffering from deficiencies. Finally, it contains a low amount of caffeine compared to other teas like Sencha, but still provides a minimal energy boost.
