Traditional Medicinals Organic Bancha Green Tea – 16 Tea Bags

What is Bancha?
There are several harvests (a.k.a. flushes) of tea leaf each year.
“Ban-cha” is a traditional, daily-use, Japanese green tea variety that
is made from mature leaves, plucked in the summer or autumn, while
“Mat-cha” and “Sen-cha” are varieties made from young, tender leaves,
plucked in the spring.

Why use Green Tea? 
It is well know that tea in all of its forms, black, green, roasted and
white, has significant antioxidant action. Aging, stress and inhaling
polluted air can cause an imbalance of free radicals vs. antioxidant
substances, both produced naturally in the body. By including foods or
teas with antioxidant action in your diet, you can help restore
balance, slowing down and protecting against degenerative processes in
the body.

How does it taste? A strong tea with a somewhat sweet and astringent taste.

Brew Well to be Well®
For maximum benefit, tea must be properly prepared. Pour 8 oz. freshly boiled water over a tea bag in a cup. Cover cup and steep 10-15 minutes. These steps directly influence the amount of beneficial components that will end up in your teacup! Gently squeeze the tea bag to release any remaining extract. Drink 3 cups or more daily. For an extra strength brew, use two teabags or brew up a whole pot using four or five teabags.
