Bancha is a classic Japanese large-leaf green tea made from the lower shoots of the tea plant. It contains substantially less caffeine than Sencha teas which are made from young shoots. Bancha Hojicha is made by roasting the Bancha leaves at high temperatures until they turn reddish-brown. Filled with aromatic flavours with roasted and nutty notes, this tea can be enjoyed with a slice of lemon or orange.
