Green Bancha Tea BIO 60 g - MOYA MATCHA

INGREDIENTS

Bancha Green Tea 100% * (* certified organic ingredient)

DESCRIPTION
Organic green tea made from second and third harvest ripe leaves, harvested from the same shrubs as the Senchy leaves. Bancha is a popular tea for everyday use in Japan. Leaves from the summer and fall harvest, from which it is naturally made, contain less caffeine (twice less than sencha or gyokuro), less flavoring and more tannins, which gives bancha its distinctive taste. In Japan, it is often served with meals. Due to its relatively low caffeine content, it is often drunk in the evening. Less caffeine (or theine, as this compound is often called in tea) also results in less bitterness in the tea infusion than in sencha. The name Bancha comes from the words "ban" and "cha". "Cha" means tea in Japanese. The word "ban" (番), on the other hand, has a double meaning. It can be understood as the equivalent of what is "common", "popular", or "everyday". Whereas "ban", written as 晩 with the same pronunciation, means "late" and refers to the late harvest from which bancha leaves originate.
Bancha gained popularity in the Edo era and is now the second most consumed green tea in Japan. There are over 20 types of bancha with different degrees of fermentation and from different regions. Bancha tea is often recommended in a vegan diet as it is the richest source of plant-based iron (38mg/100g bancha). Moya Bancha comes from small family farms in Kagoshima Prefecture on Kiushu Island.
