Japanese Sour Plum & Bancha Twig Tea

Tea Leaf (Camellia sinensis):
In class we made a home-remedy that is a mixture of the pickled Japanese ume plum along with a certain type of green tea called bancha or kukicha (from the tea plant Camellia sinensis). A little soy sauce and ginger can be added for flavor and warmth. Umesho bancha tea can be taken if there is discomfort after fasting or long-term illness. It is often given to a mother at the time her baby is delivered. The following is for 1 serving. The preparation time is about 3-5 minutes, and the cooking time is about 7-10 minutes.September 29, 2010
