Bancha Loose Leaf Green Tea

Bancha Green Tea is a classic Japanese favorite, lightly roasted to create a smooth, sweet, and nutty flavor with a rich golden infusion. Harvested from late summer through late autumn, Bancha is made from the more mature leaves of the tea plant, giving it a gentle body and mellow character ideal for daily sipping.

This tea is commonly enjoyed in Japanese households as an approachable, everyday green tea. It’s low in bitterness and easy to brew, making it a great option for those new to green tea or anyone seeking a soothing, re-steepable cup.

  1. Measure – Use 1 tsp of Bancha per 6–8 oz water.
  2. Heat – Brew with water at 175°F (not boiling).
  3. Steep – Steep for 2–3 minutes to avoid bitterness.
  4. Serve – Enjoy hot with meals or chilled.
  • Pro Tip: For a stronger, more robust flavor, use slightly hotter water. For a smoother, milder taste, brew cooler or dilute.

Bancha Green Tea

Bancha green tea has become a favorite of mine. Flavorful without being astringent and reasonably priced.
