Green Bancha Tea BIO 60 g - MOYA MATCHA

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

DESCRIPTION
Organic green tea made from mature leaves of the second and third harvest, harvested from the same bushes as sencha leaves. Bancha is a popular daily tea in Japan. Its naturally produced leaves, from the summer and fall harvests, contain less caffeine (twice less than sencha or gyokuro), fewer aromatic compounds, and more tannins, giving bancha its distinctive flavor. In Japan, it is often served with meals. Due to its relatively low caffeine content, it is often consumed in the evening. Less caffeine (or theine, as this compound in tea is often called) 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 dual 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 come.
Bancha gained popularity during the Edo period and is now the second most widely consumed green tea in Japan. There are over 20 varieties of bancha with varying degrees of fermentation and from different regions. Bancha tea is often recommended in a vegan diet because it is the richest source of plant-based iron (38 mg/100 g of bancha). Moya bancha comes from small family farms in Kagoshima Prefecture on Kiushu Island.
