Bancha is made from the later harvests of the year and from the larger, coarser leaves left behind once the finest ones have gone into sencha. Those leaves have spent longer in the sun, so they hold fewer amino acids and less caffeine, and the tea they make is mild, plain and easy on the stomach. It is the everyday household tea in Japan, drunk through the day and after meals rather than savoured. Brew it hot and quickly β€” bancha is not delicate and does not need coaxing out. Expect a light golden-green cup with a mild, slightly woody character rather than the sweetness of a first-flush tea.

De bancha wordt verbouwd door Mr. Masuda , een ervaren theeboer uit Shizuoka die een groter theeveld beheert. Tijdens ons bezoek aan zijn boerderij gaf Mr. Masuda ons een uitgebreide rondleiding door het theeproductieproces, van het telen tot het verpakken.

Het duurde even voordat we in Japan een bancha vonden die we echt lekker vonden, maar toen Mr. Masuda ons deze liet proeven, wisten we meteen dat het iets bijzonders was. Deze thee is snel uitgegroeid tot een van onze populairste, vooral onder beginners.

Deze bancha wordt geproduceerd op het Makinohara plateau in Shizuoka . De boerderij is vrij groot en heeft verschillende microklimaten die perfect zijn voor diverse soorten groene thee. We bezochten de boerderij in de zomer van 2018 om meer te leren over theecultivars en de verschillende theesoorten die hier worden verbouwd te proeven.

Deze bancha is gemaakt van de Yabukita -cultivar, de meest voorkomende theesoort in Japan, die 75% van de totale theeproductie van het land uitmaakt.

Yabukita: Er zijn twee belangrijke redenen waarom het Yabukita -cultivar zo populair is. Ten eerste is deze theeplant beter bestand tegen vorst en kan daardoor de relatief koude winters van Midden-Japan doorstaan. Bovendien heeft de thee een sterke hartige en plantaardige smaak die veel theedrinkers waarderen!

Warme drank: 5 g bladeren, 150 ml water van 70 Β°C (158 Β°F), 1 minuut.

Zet het opnieuw: Dezelfde theebladeren leveren twee infusies op. Laat elke infusie nogmaals 20 seconden trekken met water van dezelfde temperatuur; elke infusie smaakt iets anders.

Koud gebrouwen koffie: Deze thee smaakt het lekkerst warm; we raden af om hem koud te zetten.

EΓ©n verpakking: Tot 40 kopjes Β· 20 porties van 5 g, 2 infusies per portie Β· 100 g / 3,5 oz.

Voor ons is thee meer dan een drankje, het is een manier van leven. We hebben jarenlang theeplantages in heel Japan bezocht, thee geproefd met de mensen die de thee verbouwen en duurzame, directe relaties opgebouwd. Wij geloven dat dit de meest duurzame manier is om thee te verkrijgen: minder tussenpersonen, betere traceerbaarheid en een nauwere band tussen boer en theedrinker.

Elke thee is 100% vrij van pesticiden en zorgvuldig geselecteerd op smaak, herkomst en vakmanschap. Of u nu Japanse thee ontdekt of verschillende cultivars en terroirs vergelijkt, u vindt bij ons eerlijke proefnotities, nauwkeurige zetinstructies en echte ondersteuning om het beste uit elk kopje te halen.

How to Make
Bancha Like a Pro

Om optimaal van je bancha te genieten, raden we je aan deze instructies te volgen. Bancha is wat betreft de zettemperatuur wat minder gevoelig, dus als je de thee iets te heet of iets te lang laat trekken, is dat over het algemeen geen probleem.

Why Organic Bancha Fields Make a Difference

Theeplanten nemen alles uit de grond op, waardoor teelt zonder pesticiden extra belangrijk is. De boeren waarmee we samenwerken hebben een manier gevonden om heerlijke thee te verbouwen zonder het natuurlijke ecosysteem te schaden.

Nio teas is al een tijdje mijn favoriete plek om thee van goede kwaliteit te kopen, en ze stellen me nog steeds nooit teleur. Hun thee is van uitstekende kwaliteit, maar ik wil graag meer aandacht besteden aan de klantenservice. Het team van Nio is altijd erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam geweest wanneer ik een probleem had. Hun klantenservice stelt nooit teleur; ze zijn zeer attent en reageren snel op vragen. Daarom ben ik al zo lang een trouwe klant.

Ik bestel al jaren bij verschillende leveranciers en Nio heeft consequent de beste prijzen en het grootste assortiment. Ze bieden ook uitstekende klantenservice en snelle verzending. Een echte aanrader! πŸƒ

We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals.

Thank you so much for sending the replacement order! The first shipment was lost locally and you sent me out a new order! This Bancha tea is worth it every time. This is such a relaxing and soothing tea. I use it for morning tea as well as afternoon and before bed!

Customer photo review of Bancha

This is a great tasting tea. I quit coffee recently and I was looking for an affordable tea that can be steeped throughout the day. Following the directions I’m able to make more than three cups with the same leaves. I like the flavor profile of each cup. I wish that there were more varieties of bancha to choose from.

Customer photo review of Bancha

This bancha by Masuda-san may be the best quality Bancha I've ever drunk before. It's a cheap yet valuable! This tea is the best afternoon or after a rich meal helping you to digest it better. It is a full body, the bitterness pleasantly hits your taste buds without indisposition along with the nice acidity a nice bancha should have. The cereal smell and nutty flavour can also be pleasant as well for those who doesn't like the vegetal, grassy, savory notes of Japanese green teas, so I could even notice robust tones to the wet leaves after one or two infusions. The tea barely looses its flavour, that's why I infuse it 4 times. You can use 70Β°C for the first infusion and 75Β°C - 80Β°C for the second with no fear, the flavor remains with pleasant bitterness and low astringensy, the acidity dominates with its tingling sensation in your palate in a good way along with a nice sweetness.

This is one of the best teas I have in my collection. The lower caffeine allows me to enjoy this throughout the day. I will be keeping this on order.

I'm really enjoying this tea. It's very light and has a really nice refreshing taste. I definitely enjoy sipping on the weekends. Love that one can brew up to three times. The flavors come out after each brew.

Bancha

Customer photo review of Bancha

Great, subtle tasting green tea, can be drank all day without affecting my sleep even though I'm quite sensitive to caffeine. Since you can rebrew the same leaves multiple times, one packet of tea can last a long, long time. This is my go-to tea now!

Customer photo review of Bancha

Masudaen Bancha, a sample gift from Nio. It's mild, woody and slightly acidic. A gentle tea for winding down in the afternoon or after a meal in the evening.

Bancha

Customer photo review of Bancha

A very mild flavor and the color was more of the pale golden yellow-green found more in Chinese green teas. Personally I like my teas on the stronger side, so I would probably brew this one a little hotter next time and use 100-120 ml instead of the 150. A very lovely tea with a lower caffeine content (I actually had a nap afterwards), so probably better for late afternoons

Bancha

Customer photo review of Bancha

This bancha itself smells wonderful. It's intensely aromatic, with a sharp, really bright fragrance that smells like freshly clipped tea leaves. It's a very layered tea with a nice body, but it bites a little hard. It really reminds me of tea leaves that have just been pulled off the bush and brewed without any additional processing. It's got a bright astringency that translates into an almost spicy, sort of Sichuan peppercorn numbness on the tongue and roof of the mouth.

Tried it a the various recommended temperature. Tastes quite good.

E' la prima volta che acquisto questo tè Bancha e ne sono molto soddisfatta, perchè è erbaceo, fresco e dolce, come piace a me. Il fatto poi che sia stato coltivato senza pesticidi lo rende, per me, un prodotto eccezionale.

Just the job! Needed more mellow green tea. You recommended right age of leaf. Fabulous result. Most pleased.

I am not a tea expert. Not even close. However I do enjoy the various sensha teas I've been getting from Nio. This time I thought I'd try Bancha, partly because it is so inexpensive and partly to try something different. I can drink it but I can't say I enjoy it as a special treat that is pleasant to sit and sip. I very often mix the brewed Japanese tea with an herb tea like hibiscus flower, and the Bancha seems to be suitable for that because I'm not wanting to really taste the flavor of the Bancha. We live and learn and I've learned that I should probably stay with the mid priced Sencha teas. Thanks to Nio for providing the vast assortment from which to choose.

Bancha

Love this tea site!

I purchased this tea because it was low in caffeine so I can drink it in the afternoon. Mellow flavor and perfect for drinking later in the day.

I love this tea! I enjoy drinking tea at night. I just don’t like staying up all night. Perfect for an evening session.

Bancha

After the COVID shot I began having a bitter taste in my mouth. Eventually I couldn’t drink anything but water. But I had the idea of trying a weak low acid tea. A weak tea is made with water you can put your finger in and is only steeped a short time. It worked. This green tea tastes good to me

What a great tasting afternoon tea! Drinking it after a very filling meal keeps me from feeling bloated and then dessert :-) thanks

I really enjoy drinking this tea on a cozy afternoon. The flavor reminds me of camping for some reason and I really enjoy it
