This is a caffeine-free, gentle hojicha tea.The tea leaves for San-nen Bancha are not new shoots, but rather bancha harvested in autumn—fully grown, mature tea leaves and stems. These are left to mature at room temperature for three years in their rough tea state before being roasted. Compared to sencha, it contains fewer stimulating components like caffeine and tannins, making it a gentle tea that can be enjoyed safely by everyone from babies to the elderly.In macrobiotics, three-year bancha is considered a balanced, moderately warming tea. It is recommended as an ideal daily tea for warming the body and supporting digestion, absorption, and metabolism.Specifications・Net Weight: 150g・Best Before: 1 year from shipping month (unopened)・Ingredients: Organic green tea・Certification: Organic JAS
