Baby bancha, also known as baby cold brew bancha, has been the most popular tea in Omi (Shiga) since ancient times. Unlike hojicha, it has a unique aroma and refreshing sweetness, and is made using a special manufacturing method that involves steaming the harvested tea leaves, drying them without rolling them, and then roasting them in a pot. Compared to Kyoto bancha, it has a milder taste, and even those who try it for the first time are very happy with it. There is a small homemade kettle in front of Nakagawa Seiseido where they roast bancha one after another throughout the day. Generally, the tea leaves are rolled and roasted, but baby bancha is roasted without rolling. Compared to regular bancha, which has a dead leaf color, baby bancha leaves are steamed and dried in a short time, leaving them with a green color. Also, while regular bancha, which is made by rolling and roasting tea leaves, has a stronger flavor, it also tends to produce bitter and astringent components, making it quite different in taste from baby bancha, which has a refreshing feel. Baby bancha has a mild taste and is enjoyed by people who are drinking it for the first time.
