Natural Healing with Umesho Bancha Tea

loose kukicha tea

umesho bancha teaBancha is one of many names for twig tea (Kukicha is another). This healing tea is made from the twigs and branches of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis), and has all the antioxidants and very little of the caffeine. It’s a great relaxing drink after dinner or before bed, with a roasty, herbal flavor that is strong but pleasant. It is delicious on its own, but mixed with umeboshi paste and shoyu it makes a great healing, detoxifying tea.

Umesho bancha tea helps regulate digestion, improve circulation, strengthen the blood, and relieve headaches! Drink if you have an upset stomach, gas, bloating, or after excess sugar or alcohol consumption. It help with nearly everything!
