It is usually made from later harvests of the tea plant and therefore has a softer, less intense profile than many early green teas. In the cup, Bancha appears light, fresh and balanced.<\/p>\n<p>This green tea suits anyone who enjoys Japanese tea but prefers a gentle and uncomplicated cup. Its aroma remains mild, lightly grassy and clear. As a result, Bancha works well for everyday tea moments and can be enjoyed pure or with light dishes.<\/p>\n<h3>Bancha tea with a mild green tea taste<\/h3>\n<p>The taste of Bancha tea is soft, fresh and gently brisk. Compared with stronger Japanese green teas, it feels rounder and lighter. Therefore, it is a good choice if you are looking for a classic green tea from Japan that does not taste too intense.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Japanese green tea with long leaves<\/li>\n<li>Mild, clear and lightly fresh taste<\/li>\n<li>Light cup with balanced aroma<\/li>\n<li>Enjoyable pure or with light dishes<\/li>\n<li>Suitable for short steeping times and several infusions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Bancha green tea and its origin<\/h3>\n<p>Bancha is one of the well-known green teas from Japan. For this tea, producers usually use leaves from later harvests. These leaves are often larger and firmer than the young leaves from earlier pickings. This creates a clear, mild green tea with its own character.<\/p>\n<p>The long leaf shapes not only the appearance, but also the preparation. During infusion, the leaves open slowly and release their aroma evenly. This creates a gentle cup with fine freshness and a calm green tea profile.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation of Bancha tea<\/h3>\n<p>For preparation, pour hot but not boiling water over the Bancha tea. A short steeping time is enough for the mild green tea aroma to develop. If you prefer a slightly stronger cup, you can extend the steeping time a little.<\/p>\n<p>Bancha is also suitable for several infusions. The taste changes slightly from cup to cup. The first infusion usually feels fresher, while later infusions become softer and more subtle.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparing Bancha and Genmaicha<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to discover more Japanese green teas, our <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product\/japan-genmaicha-green-tea\/\">Japan Genmaicha green tea<\/a> is also worth a look. Both teas come from Japan, but they differ clearly in taste. While Genmaicha gets a nutty roasted note from roasted rice, Bancha remains clearer, milder and more focused on the pure green tea aroma.<\/p>\n<h3>Storage<\/h3>\n<p>To preserve the fine aroma, store Bancha in a dry, cool and well-sealed place. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture and strong surrounding odours because green tea can easily absorb smells. This keeps the tea fresh, clear and pleasantly mild in taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Preparation Japan Bancha Green Tea<\/h4>\n<p>\ud83e\udd44 12\u201315 g per litre<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f 80\u201390 \u00b0C<br \/>\n\u23f3 1,5\u20132 minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[352,414,378],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-48745","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-products","product_cat-green-tea","product_cat-loose-leaf-tea","pa_herkunft-japan","pa_weight-100-g","pa_weight-200-g","pa_weight-400-g","pa_weight-50-g","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable","has-default-attributes","add-to-wishlist-before_image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Japan Bancha Green Tea - TeaSense.ch<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bancha tea from Japan with a mild, clear green tea taste and long leaf.
