Organic Bancha roasted - healthy green tea with little caffeine

100 g

This green tea with a nutty, roasted aroma contains almost no caffeine . In Japan, it is drunk at any time of day and on any occasion. Children, pregnant women and the elderly can also enjoy it without worry. “Ban” has many meanings. The most common translation is “late”: not only because Bancha can be drunk late in the day, but also because this tea is harvested late in the year.

How Bancha affects health

Our roasted organic Bancha is full of minerals , especially iron . The many tannins have a positive effect on digestion . Bancha is particularly suitable for people with acid-related stomach problems: the combination of low caffeine content and high content of alkaline minerals does not irritate the stomach. Researchers at the University of California have discovered that regular consumption of green tea has a positive effect on inflammation of the gastric mucosa . Those who are prone to heartburn should therefore opt for Bancha instead of coffee.

Bancha from Shimane - a local speciality

“Ban” also means “local tea”. If you are a guest in Japan , you will most likely be served a cup of Bancha. The regional differences between “Banchas” are about as great as those between a Bavarian wheat beer and a Thuringian dark beer. In Tokyo, “Bancha” is a tea made from tea leaves with a coarser surface, while in Hokkaido it means “roasted tea from leaves and twigs”. The province of Shimane is known for its Bancha, especially the cities of Unnan, Yasugi and Izumo. Unlike Sencha, our Bancha is not steamed and rolled after harvest. Instead, the leaves are roasted . This way they retain their original shape.

Easy to prepare

A third meaning of "Ban" is "everyday". Our roasted Bancha is prepared with boiling hot water and only needs to be steeped for 30 seconds . This makes it an uncomplicated tea for everyday use . You don't need any accessories, nor do you have to measure the water temperature. If you want it to be even easier, prepare Bancha as a cold brew. We offer it as a loose tea and in a practical, compostable tea bag .

Hot

  • 300 ml water, 100 degrees
  • 5-7g (3 tsp) Bancha
  • Let it brew for 30 seconds

Cold

  • Add 5-7g (3 tsp) Bancha to a bottle
  • Pour in 500 ml of cold water
  • Place in the fridge for 3 hours

Tea is an individual matter. We provide you with a preparation suggestion here and invite you to experiment with the quantities and water temperature yourself.
