bancha is one of the "lowest" grade Japanese teas and is harvested between summer and autumn. banchas are generally far more affordable than higher grade teas.

this is iribancha (kyobancha), one of my favorite teas. it is a bancha that originates from Kyoto and is the last tea harvested. it is roasted, leaving quite a smoky taste and aroma.

this is hojicha (焙じ茶), a roasted bancha which is considered a far lighter tea. it still has a rich flavor from the roasting. both iribancha and hojicha are still green teas.
this is sencha (煎茶), a higher grade Japanese green tea. it is my personal favorite, though good quality can end up being fairly expensive. it has quite an "umami" flavor that can be unusual when trying it for the first time.
this is gyokuro (玉露), one of the highest quality Japanese green teas. it is brewed very differently with a high concentration of leaves and low amount of water when brewed. gyokuro is more of an occasional tea.
a tiny fraction of the Japanese growers grow anything other than green tea. white, yellow, oolong, green, and black tea vary in oxidation levels that give them their classification.
Can I order this anywhere?
