Thank you so much for sending the replacement order! The first shipment was lost locally and you sent me out a new order! This Bancha tea is worth it every time. This is such a relaxing and soothing tea. I use it for morning tea as well as afternoon and before bed!
Wonderful tea and fast delivery ! Thanks a lot !
This is a great tasting tea. I quit coffee recently and I was looking for an affordable tea that can be steeped throughout the day. Following the directions I’m able to make more than three cups with the same leaves. I like the flavor profile of each cup. I wish that there were more varieties of bancha to choose from.
This bancha by Masuda-san may be the best quality Bancha I've ever drunk before. It's a cheap yet valuable! This tea is the best afternoon or after a rich meal helping you to digest it better. It is a full body, the bitterness pleasantly hits your taste buds without indisposition along with the nice acidity a nice bancha should have. The cereal smell and nutty flavour can also be pleasant as well for those who doesn't like the vegetal, grassy, savory notes of Japanese green teas, so I could even notice robust tones to the wet leaves after one or two infusions. The tea barely looses its flavour, that's why I infuse it 4 times. You can use 70°C for the first infusion and 75°C - 80°C for the second with no fear, the flavor remains with pleasant bitterness and low astringensy, the acidity dominates with its tingling sensation in your palate in a good way along with a nice sweetness.
This is one of the best teas I have in my collection. The lower caffeine allows me to enjoy this throughout the day. I will be keeping this on order.
I'm really enjoying this tea. It's very light and has a really nice refreshing taste. I definitely enjoy sipping on the weekends. Love that one can brew up to three times. The flavors come out after each brew.
Great, subtle tasting green tea, can be drank all day without affecting my sleep even though I'm quite sensitive to caffeine. Since you can rebrew the same leaves multiple times, one packet of tea can last a long, long time. This is my go-to tea now!
Masudaen Bancha, a sample gift from Nio. It's mild, woody and slightly acidic. A gentle tea for winding down in the afternoon or after a meal in the evening.
A very mild flavor and the color was more of the pale golden yellow-green found more in Chinese green teas. Personally I like my teas on the stronger side, so I would probably brew this one a little hotter next time and use 100-120 ml instead of the 150. A very lovely tea with a lower caffeine content (I actually had a nap afterwards), so probably better for late afternoons
This bancha itself smells wonderful. It's intensely aromatic, with a sharp, really bright fragrance that smells like freshly clipped tea leaves. It's a very layered tea with a nice body, but it bites a little hard. It really reminds me of tea leaves that have just been pulled off the bush and brewed without any additional processing. It's got a bright astringency that translates into an almost spicy, sort of Sichuan peppercorn numbness on the tongue and roof of the mouth.
I'm loving this bancha! Super smooth and mild and a good value for the price. Thanks guys!
10/10 omg it’s SO GOOD it tastes like puerh but more subtle!!
I LIKED THE TASTE AND THE FRAGRANCE
This is a pure and wonderful fresh flavor. I love the mild old fashioned flavor. It reminds me of tea with my Mother.
Tried it a the various recommended temperature. Tastes quite good.
E' la prima volta che acquisto questo tè Bancha e ne sono molto soddisfatta, perchè è erbaceo, fresco e dolce, come piace a me. Il fatto poi che sia stato coltivato senza pesticidi lo rende, per me, un prodotto eccezionale.
Just the job! Needed more mellow green tea. You recommended right age of leaf. Fabulous result. Most pleased.
Lovely tea for the end of the day. Light, pleasant minerality, light sweet green vegetable flavors.
Love the bancha tea it’s a great afternoon sip!
Buonissimo come sempre
Il gusto é piú delicato di quanto mi aspettassi, ma é comunque buono. Tutto bene con la spedizione.
I like it. Whenever I make it, I am reminded to go slow and enjoy the process. Will order again once It's almost done
Sabor que me recuerda a Japón
I am not a tea expert. Not even close. However I do enjoy the various sensha teas I've been getting from Nio. This time I thought I'd try Bancha, partly because it is so inexpensive and partly to try something different. I can drink it but I can't say I enjoy it as a special treat that is pleasant to sit and sip. I very often mix the brewed Japanese tea with an herb tea like hibiscus flower, and the Bancha seems to be suitable for that because I'm not wanting to really taste the flavor of the Bancha. We live and learn and I've learned that I should probably stay with the mid priced Sencha teas. Thanks to Nio for providing the vast assortment from which to choose.
Love this tea site!
super gegen Bluthochdruck und er schmeckt auch noch gut
I like the tea. It has a good flavor.
This is my favorite tea for the afternoon or before dinner. A mild smooth taste and low in caffeine.
Muy buen sabor y calidad precio
Love it.
I purchased this tea because it was low in caffeine so I can drink it in the afternoon. Mellow flavor and perfect for drinking later in the day.
My tea arrived in a timely manner and seems of good quality. Will definitely purchase again.
Alles sehr gut gelaufen.
A very flavorful tea for the evening.
Great taste. Good company. Solid choice
My late in the day standby. Smooth and flavorful.
I love this tea! I enjoy drinking tea at night. I just don’t like staying up all night. Perfect for an evening session.
After the COVID shot I began having a bitter taste in my mouth. Eventually I couldn’t drink anything but water. But I had the idea of trying a weak low acid tea. A weak tea is made with water you can put your finger in and is only steeped a short time. It worked. This green tea tastes good to me
What a great tasting afternoon tea! Drinking it after a very filling meal keeps me from feeling bloated and then dessert :-) thanks
I really enjoy drinking this tea on a cozy afternoon. The flavor reminds me of camping for some reason and I really enjoy it
