While bancha is more commonly consumed as an everyday drink, it is far from plain or boring. Bancha has a more robust taste compared to finer green teas like sencha, making it a perfect everyday brew. 
This well-balanced Japanese green tea offers a comforting, earthy flavor. Made from mature leaves harvested later in the season, the leaves are carefully processed and lightly roasted to bring out a subtle vegetal sweetness with hints of toasted grain.

Classic bancha

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.
