Organic Roasted Green Tea, also known as Roasted Bancha, is made from organically grown Grade A "Hojicha" Japanese green tea leaf, which is lightly roasted. Roasted Bancha is often preferred by veteran green tea connoisseurs because the light roasting of the leaves imparts a rich and nutty flavor to the tea. Drinking Organic Roasted Green Tea is especially appropriate after meals because it has a refreshing effect on the palate.
