Bancha Arashiyama

Country of origin: Japan.  Caffeine: Medium.  Bancha is distinctive for its significant taste that gradually spreads within the mouth. Its name of Arashiyama is a synonym for stormy mountains. The initially sweetish taste transforms into a pleasantly bitter tone at the close, reminiscent of young walnut. Preparation:  Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 90°C. Pour and leave it to infuse for 1 minute. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 2-3 infusions.
