Description

Kyoto Bancha, or Kyobancha, is a beloved tea that has been cherished in the Kyoto region for generations. This distinctive tea is made from large, mature tea leaves and their stems, carefully harvested during the spring and autumn seasons. The leaves are then dried and roasted to bring out its signature flavor. Kyobancha stands out with its unique smoky aroma and smooth, soothing taste. While it may resemble hojicha in appearance, its flavor profile is entirely its own—offering a rich, mellow depth that is both calming and satisfying.
