Bancha Arashiyama - green japanese tea

Japanese green tea with very low level of caffeine.

Bancha is distinctive for its rich taste that gradually spreads within the mouth. This variety’s name of Arashiyama translates as “stormy mountains”. The sweetish flavour it initially shows gives way to a pleasantly bitter tone at the close that is reminiscent of young walnut.

Preparation guidelines: Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 90°C. Pour and leave it to infuse for 1 minute. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 2-3 infusions.
