These leaves thicker and larger than those found toward the top. The leaves on the bottom part of the tea plant tend to get more sun exposure, which makes the flavor profile of bancha somewhat more bitter and astringent then sencha. Nevertheless, it is appreciated in Japan for its robust flavor and lower caffeine content.
