Kyobancha

An especially light, large-leaved roasted green tea that is a great option for when you're in the mood of something lighter. An aroma of steamed fresh greens graces your nose on both the dry and wet leaves. The effect of caffeine in this tea is far less pronounced, and so creates a more relaxing sensation. I find this tea pairs great with lighter meals and as a post-meal drink. Our most subtle tea, which you may mistake for a tisane, as it carries characteristics of our herbal drinks in tea form; light, refreshing and vegetal. A favourite of mine in those evening hours or when my stomach cannot handle anything too strong.
