This Japanese Bancha is a green tea that originates from Japan.
This tea is stronger and more full-bodied than most green teas because it made of mature tea leaves and stems from the autumn harvest. Bancha has a strong grassy smell and brews to make a vibrant green tea with a slightly smoky aftertaste.
The trick is not to over brew green teas, it is best to boil your water and leave it for about 2-3 minutes to cool and then brew your green tea for no longer than 3 minutes. This allows the fresh spring grass flavour to come out but not the bitter edge that puts some people off green tea.

A very popular tea in Asia, this combines a strong Assam tea base with a blend of spices including cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. To brew chai the “proper” way you brew the leaves and spices in simmering milk, and then strain out the leaves and add honey or sugar to sweeten the drink. We think that this tea also works well brewed in water as a more “normal” tea, and it is even quite nice without milk! A warming and robust tea for a cold day.
