The Bancha

Lotus Flower Green Tea is traditional Japanese Bancha (番 茶) green tea, in lightly roasted and unfermented leaves. Japanese green tea is low in caffeine compared to black tea or espresso.

Japanese green tea contains vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin K, antioxidant polyphenols (responsible for the slightly bitter taste) and L-theanine, an amino acid that reduces mental stress, physical stress and helps to further reduce the absorption of caffeine.

The beneficial effects of green tea on the body have been proven by scientific studies that have reported evidence that a constant consumption of green tea contributes to reducing the risk of heart disease and the onset of certain cancers. The FDA (US food and drug administration) has found that there are benefits from green tea on breast and prostate cancer.

Tips for Making Japanese Green Tea
