The dry leaves of the spring tea from this species contain about 3.4% amino acid, 20.9% tea polyphenols, 13.3% catechin and 4.1% caffeine, which makes them well suited for producing green tea.

An everyday favorite among Japanese people, Bancha 番茶 has a bold, refreshing spirit. This tea is crafted with leaves harvested in late summer and then steamed and rolled.

It’s the feeling of this tea that’s truly special. The feeling itself is extremely meditative, not harsh or energetic but quite aggressive and forceful in its relaxing nature.

Sencha Ichibancha (organic)

170 Kč / 50 g

The writer Ludvík Kundera, in his book Drinking Tea writes of Sencha tea that “when there is more than enough bitterness, suddenly a spark of sweetness jumps out: gently casting doubt upon its classification”. The aforementioned bitterness, so strong as to be acute, is characteristic for this tea, and if the tea is correctly prepared will be congenially complemented with sparks of sweetness. Generally speaking this provides a very refreshing taste.

Sencha Fukamushi
