Description
- Bancha are made of large, tougher leaves. As the season wears on, the chemical composition of the leaves changes.
- By the time The Bancha harvest begins the smoother-tasting polyphenols in the leaves have been replaced by harsher ones, and the leaves have lost amino acids that create sweetness and body.
- Bancha yields a grassier, lighter-bodied tea. Being an organic Tea only accentuates the lightness.
