Meet Buckwheat Tea, aka Soba-cha
A different kind of tea.
A lot of us have heard of or tried the gluten-free grain buckwheat, but have you come across buckwheat tea before?
Created by roasting buckwheat kernels to perfection, the tea has similar health benefits to green tea, minus the bittterness or caffeine.
We describe its taste as subtly nutty with a smooth finish.
