Discover Bancha, the Japanese green tea best loved by lovers of everyday ritual and by anyone looking for a light, easy-to-digest tea that is low in caffeine.
Harvested in late summer/autumn from the larger, more mature leaves of Camellia sinensis, our Bancha gives a delicate, smooth infusion with pleasant grassy notes and a gently sweet, almost toasted vegetal background.
No harsh bitterness and no marked astringency: just balance and pleasant freshness.
Why choose our Bancha:
Low caffeine (~10–20 mg per cup) → perfect in the late afternoon and evening too
Rich in antioxidants (catechins)
A great aid to digestion (especially after rich or fatty meals)
Cleansing and slightly alkalising
The traditional Japanese 'table tea' → drunk freely with meals
