Bancha tea is a beautiful dark green tea, compared with the colour of almost any other green tea in the world. This is a visual indication of the special way Bancha tea is made - a special drying/steaming process that prohibits oxidation of the tea leaves while being rolled and dried. Bancha green tea gained worldwide favour when merchants began selling it as a less costly Sencha alternative. It is low in caffeine yet high in vitamins and minerals, making it very healthy and suitable for children. Bancha tea is the market leader of Japanese style tea because of the marketing emphasis that has been given to it over the last few decades. Considered to be an everyday tea, Bancha has a unique flavour which goes well with food. Enjoy a cup of this popular, inexpensive Green Tea today.
