An elegant example of Japanese Bancha (from shoots of the larger lower leaves of the tea bush). Low caffeine, mineral-rich, soft, grassy and very drinkable all day.

The leaves are rich in minerals, but contain up to 70 per cent less caffeine than the Gyokuro teas (which are plucked from the young shoots).

The evenly worked leaf shows its real quality and its fine leaf structure after brewing.

Soft and discreet to the taste with a hint of grass. The discreet note makes this Bancha Arashiyama ideal both for green tea beginners and lovers.

Region & Growing Info

Japan

Japan is famous for its high-quality green teas like Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha. Grown primarily in Shizuoka, Kagoshima, and Uji, these teas are known for their fresh, vegetal, and umami-rich flavours. Gyokuro is shade grown, offering a deep, sweet profile, while Sencha’s tend to have a bright, grassy taste. Matcha, a powdered green tea, is used in traditional ceremonies and has an intense, creamy flavour.

Japan's unique steaming process preserves the verdant, green colour of its teas. In addition to traditional green teas, Japan also produces Genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice). Genmaicha has a nutty, toasty flavour and is often consumed daily.
