Oversteeping can bring out unwanted bitter notes.
Fun fact: we often confuse astringency with bitterness. Bitterness lingers in your mouth after drinking, while astringency fades quickly.
Pay attention next time you sip green tea!

Last week, we talked about #Sencha, and today we’re focusing on another green tea: #Bancha.
The term bancha refers to both a type of #tea and a category. As a type, it’s an unshaded green tea harvested later in the season (second, third, or fourth flush), made from larger, more mature leaves (from the third leaf down). These leaves are processed like Sencha but result in a tea with larger, crushed leaves and a dull green color.1/3
