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 — 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.

El bancha es cultivado por Mr. Masuda , un experto productor de té de Shizuoka que supervisa una extensa plantación. Durante nuestra visita a su finca, Mr. Masuda nos ofreció un recorrido completo por el proceso de producción del té, desde el cultivo hasta el envasado.

Nos costó un tiempo encontrar un bancha que nos gustara de verdad en Japón, pero en cuanto Mr. Masuda nos lo presentó, supimos al instante que era especial. Este té se está convirtiendo rápidamente en uno de los más populares, sobre todo entre los principiantes.

Este bancha se produce en la meseta Makinohara , en Shizuoka . La finca es bastante extensa y cuenta con varios microclimas ideales para diferentes tipos de té verde. Visitamos la finca en el verano de 2018 para aprender más sobre las variedades de té y degustar los distintos tipos que se cultivan allí.

Este bancha se elabora con la variedad Yabukita , el tipo de té más común en Japón, que representa el 75% de la producción total de té del país.

Yabukita: Hay dos razones principales por las que la variedad Yabukita es tan popular. La primera es que esta variedad de planta de té es más resistente a las heladas y, por lo tanto, puede soportar los inviernos relativamente fríos del centro de Japón. Además, el té produce un sabor intenso, sabroso y vegetal que muchos aficionados disfrutan.

Café caliente: 5 g de hojas, 150 ml de agua a 70 °C (158 °F), 1 minuto.

Prepáralo de nuevo: Las mismas hojas dan para dos infusiones. Vuelve a infusionarlas una vez más con agua a la misma temperatura, durante 20 segundos cada vez; cada infusión tiene un sabor ligeramente diferente.

Café frío: Se disfruta mejor caliente; no recomendamos preparar este té en frío.

Un paquete: Hasta 40 tazas · 20 porciones de 5 g, 2 infusiones cada una · 100 g / 3.5 oz.

Para nosotros, el té es más que una bebida; es una forma de vida. Llevamos años visitando plantaciones de té por todo Japón, degustando tés con quienes los cultivan y forjando relaciones directas y duraderas. Creemos que esta es la manera más sostenible de obtener té: menos intermediarios, mayor trazabilidad y una conexión más cercana entre el agricultor y el consumidor.

Cada té es 100% libre de pesticidas y cuidadosamente seleccionado por su sabor, origen y elaboración artesanal. Tanto si estás descubriendo el té japonés como si comparas variedades y terruños, encontrarás notas de cata honestas, instrucciones precisas para su preparación y un apoyo real para que disfrutes al máximo de cada taza.

Shipping is free once your order passes the threshold for your country — USD 54.99 · EUR 54.99 · GBP 44.99 · CHF 49.99 · CAD 74.99 · DKK 399 · SEK 599 · PLN 229 · CZK 1,290. Everywhere else it's the equivalent of USD 54.99, converted automatically. Below the threshold a flat rate applies, always shown at checkout before you pay.

We ship from warehouses in the US, the EU and Japan — whichever is closest to you. US and EU orders arrive in 4–12 business days; the handful of countries served from Japan take around 10. Business days count from dispatch rather than from when you order, and exclude weekends and public holidays. You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your parcel leaves the warehouse.

We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals. We ask each farmer directly how they manage their land, visit the plantation and processing facility ourselves, taste every harvest before committing, and check that the biodiversity around the fields is alive. Small family farms don't always carry paperwork — so we verify it in person instead.

Japanese green tea covers an enormous range, and choosing online isn't easy. If you've tried yours and it isn't for you, email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a line on what you didn't enjoy. We'll send a different tea of equal or lower value, free. Nothing to post back — keep it, share it, or try brewing it cooler. Once per order.

Email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We'll approve it, cover the return postage with a prepaid label or a reimbursement, and refund you — no restocking fee. Refunds go to your original payment method within 2 business days of the return reaching us; your bank may take another 5–20 to show it.

Unopened items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Tea is sealed for hygiene, so opened packs can't come back — but the swap above covers exactly that situation. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.

Orders to the US and EU ship domestically from our local warehouse, so there's no customs charge and no duty. A small number of destinations are served from our Japan warehouse, where your own customs authority may apply import duty, VAT or a carrier handling fee on delivery. Those are set by your country, not by us. Ask before you order and we'll help you check.

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 70°C for the first infusion and 75°C - 80°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.

This is a pure and wonderful fresh flavor. I love the mild old fashioned flavor. It reminds me of tea with my Mother.

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.

Lovely tea for the end of the day. Light, pleasant minerality, light sweet green vegetable flavors.

Sabor que me recuerda a Japón

Bancha

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.

Love this tea site!

My late in the day standby. Smooth and flavorful.

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

Bancha

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
