Description
This regional bancha is made in Kyoto from mature tea plant leaves. These leaves are steamed and dried, but are not rolled, in order to keep them at their original size. A final roasting process gives this tea its highly soothing quality.
An original Japanese green tea, with toasted and cereal notes which develop against a very soft texture. This rare Grand Cru is waiting to be discovered!
