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

When we talk about #Japanese green #tea, we’re faced with an enormous variety of types. So, what are the different kinds of green tea? Today, let’s talk about #Sencha 煎茶.
Sencha accounts for 60% of all green tea produced in #Japan. It refers to an unshaded first-flush tea (first harvest), where only the first 2-3 leaves are picked during spring (late April to early May). The processing method for Sencha was codified in 1738 by Nagatani Soen and is still used today.1/4

As the most widely produced tea, Sencha comes in countless varieties of flavors, aromas, and forms, depending on the region, climate, soil, cultivars, and processing style.
Another type of Sencha is #Shincha 新茶, or "new tea." This is a special tea sold immediately after harvesting and processing (not sealed and refrigerated for year-round sale like regular Sencha). It retains all the freshness and aroma of the young spring leaves.
So, how to prepare #Sencha?

The first breaths of spring in #Japan are carried by its #teas : each leaf telling a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and the land it comes from.
We’re thrilled to introduce our new arrivals!Hiire #Sencha : a roasted green tea, fragrant and aromatic, perfect for those who love depth in their cup.

Je pense que je vais faire un fil sur les thé japonais, comment ça marche, pourquoi des différences dans les thés alors que c'est la même plante, tout ça, parce qu'à force de tout lire dessus, je connais plein de choses sur le sujet et c'est super intéressant (de mon point de vue de meuf en hyperfocus là-dessus). J'ai même l'astuce ultime pour profiter du thé même quand on a un manque de fer 👀

An all-time favorite indulgence after any trip to #Japan is afternoon #tea à la maison.😋 Today, #Uji #sencha #greentea is served with a traditional autumnal Japanese sweet called kuri kintsuba #栗きんつば which is made up of chestnuts embedded in a rough red bean paste (aka "tsubuan", i.e., not finely sieved thus red bean skins intact). These kintsuba from #Yufuin are our favorites being only subtly sweet, and they have a shelf-life of less than two weeks.😂 #autumn #travel #Kyushu #日本 #大分 #由布院 #九州

I used to just be a tea-drinker, earl grey, daily, because if it was good enough for my favorite captain, it was good enough for me. Then I got into yerba-maté because a company I worked for partnered with *that* company, and I always end up trying to get to the DIY or trad version of any vice I take on. And then I tried to make coffee for my Starbucks loving ex, but I wasn't able to woo her away from the union-busters, and got myself into coffee instead. Now I'm dabbling with #puer, #oolong, #sencha, and other blitz-brew or #GongFu style teas. I feel like I've got all of my major cultural caffeine bases more or less covered, and all of them work well for me for different vibes.

#Celtic #FolkloreSunday: King Chonchobar Mac Nessa was able to stop the fight between #Loegaire, #Conall Cernach and #CuChulainn at #Bricriu's banquet. #Sencha the Wise advised to appoint #Medb and #Ailill as arbiters. Only these kings were able to divide the hero's bite in such a way that no new dispute broke out for the time being.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=fEdy5rChFNg&si=PiGsgt5rXnjO9D9W one more try. Great interview by #techovertea with founder of #system76 very wide ranging open hardware cosmic desktop. I was amazed at how closely it mapped to the big refactors I've been doing in #inxi.
I realized today that I had actually found #techovertea while drinking morning #tea (#sencha green for those wondering)

#TGIF to fellow #fediversers 🙏 - it's a bright and sunny Friday now in #Bangkok 😊. Sharing an old photo I took on another bright sunny day, in beautiful #Chiran old town of #Kagoshima on #Kyushu, #Japan - this was in the vicinity of old Chiran Samurai Residences #Gardens Street aka Chiran Bukeyashiki #知覧 武家屋敷通り. 😋Tip: "mossy" green chiran-cha is a hedonistic #umami brew. #mastophoto #mosstodon #moss #sencha

Ostin vahingossa puoli kiloa vihreää teetä. Luulin, et ne oli pussitettu valmiiksi kuten edellisessä paketissa oli. Tämä oli kokonaan irtoteetä ja sain todella huokeaan hintaan.Teekaupassa tämä olisi maksanut 4 kertaa enemmän.
Pääasia et teetä on riittävästi ja se on hyvää. Ja kukkaro kiittää.

Today I'm drinking a kukicha-sencha mix that always makes me smile because, when my friend first ordered it for her tea shoppe, she very kindly asked me to taste it and send her my feedback, so that she could send it back to the producer in Kagoshima (Japan).
It's a perfect tea for a greyish spring day. #tea #sencha #kukicha #cha #chadoraku

The green tea we know today is all thanks to Nagatani Sōen (永谷宗円 1681-1778), a tea merchant from Yuyadani. Over 15 years he developed new techniques for producing tea leaves, transforming previously crude brown leaves into the flavorful green leaves we know today☕️😓🙌🍵

I made some cold brewed Sencha green tea in the fridge, which I brewed over the course of 48 hours.
I love, how the tea leaves swirl in the bottle, when agitated.
The tea has a strong sencha aroma, is slightly sweet and unami and has absolutely no adstringency or bitterness.
It`s an amazing summer time drink. Now all I need is some summer time weather...

One last Sencha for the road, a bottom of the bags UNYTea x Harney Tea Sencha blend, before getting back to the usual Chinese tea hijinks.

🍵 Shirakawa karigane from Akamon Chaya shop
Japanese #sencha teas have a special flavor that I can't find anywhere else.
They remind me of the sea and the pine forests next to the beach.
This product is one of my favorite. The delicate umami meets sodium mixed to roasted hazelnuts.1st 🫖 at 75°C for 30s
I will be posting pictures from 2nd and 3rd infusions too.#JapaneseTea #ShiragakawaKarigane #AkamonChaya #GreenTea @tea

Ssh, don't tell, but I really like the cloudy second brew of Sencha best. (Sencha Scent of Mountains from Harney and Sons.)

Brewed Sencha Scent of Mountains again at 175 F for today's tea. Was gonna go cooler than last time, but didn't check notes first, and brewed again at same temp. Oops. Next time, 170 F.

My guess that you need 1) a right pot - so leaves' material would have enough room and would be submerged 2) correct ratio of leaves to water for that pot
When dealing with pots for Japanese teas in a traditional way it's not only #kyusu but #testsubin too, which is likely more suitable and more available for 1L+ volumes.
As for cold water brewing it's easier though - any vessel would fit. And I recommend to try cold #SenCha

L’heure du thé!
Il neige beaucoup dehors et le ciel est gris, et je suis enfin à la fin de mon sencha asatsuyu récolté au printemps, qui m’a accompagné à travers l’été et l’automne de cette année.
La plupart du temps, je prépare ce sencha comme si c’était un gyokuro (voir mes notes du 14: https://silvan.cloud/@gersande/109342639689435300), mais j’avais besoin d’un peu plus de chaleur aujourd’hui. Le résultat est une infusion un peu plus vive, avec un caractère légèrement amer, mais ça m’aide à me réveiller!
Avec ce thé je m’affronte finalement à mes tâches du vendredi. J’ai eu une grosse semaine et j’ai une grosse journée devant moi avant que je ne puisse me reposer cette fin de semaine.
Bon vendredi tout le monde!

L’heure du thé!
Ce matin, je continue sur le thème du sencha. Voici un thé bio récolté en mai de cette année de la région Miyazaki (sud du Japon), du cultivar Asatsuyu. Le thé est à la fois chaleureux et floral, très réconfortant pour le premier matin gelé de novembre.
J’ai préparé ma première tasse avec une eau pas très chaude (environ 70 degrés C), pour obtenir un résultat plus naturellement sucré. Je vais probablement augmenter la température de 5 ou 10 degrés pour les 2e et 3e infusions!
Bon lundi tout le monde!

Tea time!
I did not sleep well and my pain is ... not great today, so this morning I wanted something a little stronger than usual.
Organic teas from Japan are starting to really become very complex and tasty, so today I am trying an organic sencha (green tea) that is a little more on the herbaceous and umami side than on the floral/sweet side.
I really love it! It reminds me of summer, and considering it's been rainy and foggy for three days straight, I can use more sunshine in a cup right now.

@nomadbynature matcha is too mutch hassle to prepare (imho, I use shaker - like i fast make it but still -too mutch hassle). But decent everyday green tee as #sencha or #bancha are still easy to buy and easy to prepare.
@CSB use leaveas. Really. Leaves taste are so mutch different and better. -

L'heure du thé! :pink_cup_of_tea:
J’ai retrouvé un de mes thés préférés! Je le surnomme « mon thé des montagnes », car je l’amenais souvent avec moi quand j’allais faire des randos dans le nord.
Voici le guricha zaira, une variété d’Ishitobi, au Japon, qui me rappelle un peu d’un mélange entre un très bon kukicha et un très bon sencha.
Bonne journée tout le monde! :blobcatcoffee:
