Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Product information "Bancha - Organic Japanese Green Tea"

Dosierung 1 TL (gestr.-geh.)

Temperature 70-80°

Infusions 3

Brewing time 30-60 sek

Kabuse Bancha is a green tea speciality made from the pruning of the tea plants after the main harvest, usually after the last harvest in summer or autumn. However, KEIKO Bancha is harvested in spring and processed as carefully as only Sencha or Kabusecha is usually processed. In spring, the leaves contain particularly high levels of theanine, which gives this unusual Bancha a particularly mild, harmonious aroma. It is light green in the cup and an ideal family and beginners green tea. In Japan Bancha is often served in restaurants.

Kabusecha

Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika".

Storage

In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer. 

Ingredients: 100% Kabusecha (green tea) from certified organic cultivation

Überraschend gut

Hatte vorher von einer anderen Marke einen Bancha getestet, eher zufällig. Fand den ganz gut, bin aber mit Keiko so zufrieden, dass ich in der letzten Bestellung einen Bancha mit dazugenommen habe. Und ich bin begeistert, wie gut er schmeckt! Im Vergleich zu dem anderen Bakcha schmeckt er viel mehr nach "richtigem" Grüntee, nicht röstig oder holzig - es ist als würde ich einen "normalen" koffeinreichen Grüntee trinken.. und das ohne das Koffein, sodass ich ihn nachmittags oder sogar abends noch trinken kann! Darüber bin ich super glücklich. Habe direkt 200g in der nächsten Bestellung genommen, denn der geht jetzt fast täglich am Nachmittag über den Tisch.

For this Sencha, the small leaves that grow back after the first two harvests are used.
