About This Tea
What does Bancha taste like?
This premium Japanese Bancha offers a truly comforting brew, unfolding with refreshing notes of sweet wheatgrass and hearty grains. Its robust vegetal core is beautifully balanced by a gentle refineme. It leans vegetal, sweet and grain.
How should I brew Bancha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Bancha come from?
Grown in Kagoshima, Japan. This batch is from the Spring harvest.
How much does Bancha cost?
Starts at $9.12 from Nannuoshan, or about $0.18/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.08 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
