Ingredients: Organic green tea Directions: Water Temperature: 185°F Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces Steep Time: 1 minute (1st infusion), 45 seconds (2nd infusion) A refreshing everyday green tea with a mild sweet flavor and pleasant roasted aroma. Bancha is the traditional daily green tea found throughout Japan. Made of mature tea leaves and stems from the autumn harvest, Bancha is gently pan-roasted to develop a nutty sweet flavor and golden infusion. Bancha makes a wonderfully quenching cold brew tea and has a mild caffeine level due to its roasting process.
