As employees here at the store we are so spoiled by the ability to drink any tea at our fingertips, that most of the time those fingers reach for those high end exclusive teas. We forget that something so simple as Bancha, a Japanese green tea whose leaves are a bit larger and rougher than that of Sencha, can be equally as enjoyable as something twice its price.
Bancha has a much nuttier flavor than that of Sencha, but it is easy to drink and compliments meals well.

And yet it doesn’t seem too popular with you guys. ;)
I kid – I’m glad that youy guys are honest and don’t give every single one of your teas a score of 100. :D
