SUGI Bancha is a type of green tea crafted from Yabukita tea leaves, grown under the intense summer sun and harvested in autumn. While it undergoes the same steaming, rolling, and drying process as Sencha, the larger leaf size results in rolled leaves that are flat rather than the traditional needle shape.
Certified organic under Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS). Organic tea leaves are cultivated using only natural methods, resulting in harvests and flavors that change with each season. The effort required to consistently produce high-quality tea in such demanding conditions makes these leaves truly rare and special.
