Mimasaka Bancha is a traditional tea exclusively produced in the Mimasaka region of Okayama Prefecture in Japan. This tea's unique production method dates back to the 1400s. It involves boiling the tea leaves along with their branches in a large pot and then finishing them off by drying under the sun. A distinctive step in the drying process of Mimasaka Bancha includes sprinkling the leaves with the liquid extracted from the initial boiling. This technique gives the tea leaves a glossy, amber finish.

When brewed with hot water, this tea releases a sweet, substantial aroma reminiscent of stepping on fallen leaves, evoking a sense of earthiness. Upon tasting, a subtly sweet fragrance gently wafts through the nose, creating a delightful sensory experience. Mimasaka Bancha offers a unique and traditional taste that reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of its region.

We strive to deliver our products to our customers as quickly and affordably as possible by stocking them in both Japan and the United States wherever feasible.
