Organic Bancha Green Tea

Organic Bancha Tea: a gentle Japanese tea rich in aromas

Bancha tea is prepared from the same tea plant leaves as those used for Sencha. The main difference lies in its later harvest, generally in autumn. Highly appreciated in Japan, it is consumed daily. Bancha green tea contains little caffeine and offers a particularly fine and delicate taste. It is made with large leaves from old tea plants, unlike most other teas which use young shoots. This characteristic gives it its dark green color and a significant nutrient content. Traditionally, green tea is recognized for promoting good digestion (sources: EFSA on hold list - Camellia sinensis, EMA herbal monograph, European Pharmacopoeia).

The benefits and virtues of Bancha tea

Organic Bancha tea is appreciated for its traditional properties. Consumed regularly, it promotes good digestion. Rich in tannins, it contributes to a pleasant taste experience while providing essential minerals. Its low caffeine content makes it a tea suitable for consumption at any time of day.

Our tasting recommendations

For preparing Bancha green tea, it is recommended to use low-mineral water. Let the leaves steep for approximately 2 minutes. To fully appreciate the delicate aromas of this infusion, it is important not to overheat the water.

What quantity of Bancha?

The ideal quantity of Bancha tea for your infusion is approximately 12 to 15 grams per liter, or about 3 grams for a 150 ml cup. This dosage reveals the sweetness and finesse of the aromas characteristic of Bancha tea.

What is the ideal steeping temperature for Bancha tea?

To preserve the taste and nutritional quality of the tea, the recommended steeping temperature is between 70 and 80°C.

When to drink Bancha tea?

The advantages of loose-leaf Bancha tea

Choosing loose-leaf Bancha is an excellent option for preserving the freshness and aromas of your tea longer. Packaged in a resealable bag or metal tin, it remains perfectly preserved. This presentation method is not only more economical and ecological than individual bags, but also a guarantee of quality.
