Before drying, a high-quality, oxidized tea leaf takes on a copper-y color. Bancha Leaf Green Tea Bancha is a Japanese green tea. It has a unique flavor and a stronger, organic straw smell.It is made from coarser leaves and contains some stalks and stems, it has less caffeine than other green teas. It also has a milder taste. This makes it a good tea for children. Because the leaves are more mature, they are often roasted or fired at a high temperature to give the tea a nutty, toasted flavor. Jasmine Green Tea Blossoms from jasmine are placed alongside tea leaves in storage, allowing the aroma to infuse. Tea leaves are highly absorbent and start to take on a sweet fragrance when they come into contact with the jasmine flower. The sweet, floral jasmine flavor adds a new dimension to the classic earthy flavors of green tea.
