Last week, we talked about #Sencha, and today we’re focusing on another green tea: #Bancha.
The term bancha refers to both a type of #tea and a category. As a type, it’s an unshaded green tea harvested later in the season (second, third, or fourth flush), made from larger, more mature leaves (from the third leaf down). These leaves are processed like Sencha but result in a tea with larger, crushed leaves and a dull green color.

Un thermos de thé (vert (sencha ofc)) pour la journée de travail, c'est aussi réconfortant qu'en rando. Je valide !

Bon par contre, j'ai l'impression que le thé continue d'infuser malgré que les feuilles aient été retirés avant de remplir la bouteille. Le thé devient presque marron et le goût bah... difficile à dire...

Vous savez pourquoi ? des micro-feuilles restent ?

J'ai pensé à stocker l'eau et préparer des sachets de thés mais bon, déchets inutiles et praticité...

When we talk about #Japanese green #tea, we’re faced with an enormous variety of types. So, what are the different kinds of green tea? Today, let’s talk about #Sencha 煎茶.
Sencha accounts for 60% of all green tea produced in #Japan. It refers to an unshaded first-flush tea (first harvest), where only the first 2-3 leaves are picked during spring (late April to early May). The processing method for Sencha was codified in 1738 by Nagatani Soen and is still used today.
