Shirobancha

しろばんちゃ

Japanese White Bancha

Shirobancha is a light, gentle and approachable tea. The leaves are simply withered and dried after harvesting; the light oxidation reveals their natural aroma and the unrolled leaves allow you to appreciate their honest beauty.

This tea is a creation unique to YUSANDO Natural Tea Garden, which joins the gentle withered appearance of white tea with the rustic character of bancha.
