Kabuse Bancha is a green tea speciality made from the pruning of the tea plants after the main harvest, usually after the last harvest in summer or autumn. However, KEIKO Bancha is harvested in spring and processed as carefully as only Sencha or Kabusecha is usually processed. In spring, the leaves contain particularly high levels of theanine, which gives this unusual Bancha a particularly mild, harmonious aroma. It is light green in the cup and an ideal family and beginners green tea. In Japan Bancha is often served in restaurants.
Kabusecha
Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika".
Storage
In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
Properties
Green tea preparation instructions
Preparation
Prepare a cup for each person that has a capacity of 80 to 100 ml. Allow the boiled water to cool to 80° to 60°C, depending on the type. To do this, either put the water in a cooling bowl or pour it directly into the cups to cool, which will also preheat them.
Dosage
Put a level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay pot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Allow the first infusion to brew for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.
Pouring
If the tea is to be served to several people, first pour a little tea into each cup and then fill the cups in reverse order. This way, the tea will be the same strength in all cups. The pouring movements gradually give the tea the right green color. Pour out the last "golden" drops and prevent the tea from brewing any further.
Enjoy
Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet treat is often served with unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Only allow to steep for about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already swollen and the ingredients are released more quickly. Distribute quickly all around.

Genialer Grüntee in dieser Preisklasse!
Einer der besten Bancha's die ich probiert habe. Sehr angenehm und rein im Geschmack, wenig Koffein. Mein alllmorgentlicher Begleiter.... :-)

Überraschend gut
Hatte vorher von einer anderen Marke einen Bancha getestet, eher zufällig. Fand den ganz gut, bin aber mit Keiko so zufrieden, dass ich in der letzten Bestellung einen Bancha mit dazugenommen habe. Und ich bin begeistert, wie gut er schmeckt! Im Vergleich zu dem anderen Bakcha schmeckt er viel mehr nach "richtigem" Grüntee, nicht röstig oder holzig - es ist als würde ich einen "normalen" koffeinreichen Grüntee trinken.. und das ohne das Koffein, sodass ich ihn nachmittags oder sogar abends noch trinken kann! Darüber bin ich super glücklich. Habe direkt 200g in der nächsten Bestellung genommen, denn der geht jetzt fast täglich am Nachmittag über den Tisch.
