Overview
This humble tea is also known as Mimasaka bancha. It is produced by only three growers in Japan; it is balanced, gentle and sweet. A beautiful example of an ancient tradition that we must preserve. Tea Info TYPE Bancha (boiled and roasted) ORIGIN Mimasaka, Okayama, Japan GROWER Kobayashi family Brewing Guide MUSASHI'S BANCHA WATER 100β, 240ml TEA 1 tbsp | 4g STEEP STYLE 180 seconds | multiple steeps EQUIPMENT Kyusu or glass teapot About The Grower According to legend, Miyamoto Musashi loved this tea above all others. Farmed in late summer and boiled in cauldrons approx. 150 years old, the leaves are spread on straw mats and sprayed with the βteaβ in which the leaves were boiled. Like Musashi, itβs old school and badass.
