Teas
-
Bancha2.95The Japanese traditionally drink this tea with their meals and it is considered a classic, everyday tea. The large leaf is taken from the lower shoots of the tea plant. The leaves are rich in minerals, but contain up to 70% less caffeine than Gyokuro teas. The taste is very discreet and slightly grassy
-
Genmaicha2.95This remarkable Japanese delicacy is a green bancha tea with brown toasted rice added. It is a Japanese favourite. This came about because rice was cheaper than tea, so the tea was bulked up with rice. Today we drink it because of its wonderful toasty taste. A full-bodied and sweet green tea with a delightful bakey character
-
Kyotocha (Sencha Sakura)2.95Sencha is Japan's most popular tea. Sakura is the Japanese for cherry blossom. Just the right amount of cherry has been added to give this tea a sublime mixture of sweetness and astringency with cherry
-
Jasmine Silver Needle3.95This connoisseur white tea is picked in the Spring and dried without rolling. The tea is then scented with Jasmine blossoms over three consective nights. Very low in caffeine and very high in antioxidants
