Premium Sannen Bancha - Makibi -

The Premium Sannen Bancha -Makibi- represents the highest quality level of the Sannen Banchas from Miyazaki Sabo. It is a bancha whose tea leaves are harvested from summer to autumn and initially mature for three years. To finish, the matured leaves are finally hand-roasted over wood fire in a shallow pan. It has an impressive flavour with notes of wood fire. The caffeine content is very low.

Tea leaves:
Beautiful dark brown colour with a slight orange tinge. Large leaves and stems. The aroma is rich, with impressive spicy notes reminiscent of dead leaves and wood. Hints of coffee beans and dark chocolate with high cocoa content.

Tasting:
Clear dark golden colour. The aroma is rich and reminiscent of autumn leaves and fireside. Refreshing and dry on the palate with pleasant astringency and fullness.

How best to enjoy it:
As Sannen Bancha warms the body, it is an ideal tea after getting up in the morning. However, due to its low caffeine content, it is also suitable for drinking in the evening. It is a refreshing tea that goes well with many dishes. Sannen Bancha is generally considered an ideal macrobiotic tea.

Miyazaki Sabo produces the highest quality organic tea in Japan using traditional production methods.

The Miyazaki Sabo tea garden is located in Gokase, in the centre of the Japanese southern island of Kyushu. The Miyazaki family started growing tea there about 90 years ago and pioneered the conversion to organic cultivation about 40 years ago. Their goal was to produce tea that does no harm to nature, both in cultivation and in consumption.
Akira Miyazaki in his tea field

The current owner Akira Miyazaki received official organic certification from JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) for Miyazaki Sabo in 2001. He uses the knowledge he acquired at university to produce a rich, characteristic Kamairi tea of the highest quality from the combination of soil, climate and the use of various excellent Japanese tea varieties, which is characterised by refreshing taste and sweetness.
