#0610.K6 Tea Farmer Shinichi Kihara: Naturally Grown Kyobancha 京番茶 (Winter-roasted green tea leaves)Unique to the city of Kyoto from which it gets name, Kyobancha is harvested from tea leaves and twigs that have matured over the winter months and then roasted producing a very woodsy flavor. Often called 'bancha for babies' (akachan bancha ) because it has almost no caffeine, it is also called 'spring bancha' (haru bancha ) because it is harvested in March from winter matured leaves. Rarely offered outside of Japan, it is even quite rare to find it
