Buckwheat tea or Sobacha is a full-bodied, very sweet, and toasty-nutty beverage made of buckwheat grains. The caramel and oat meal notes make it both comforting and fun. Hot in winter and cold in summer, Sobacha is a very popular Japanese herb tea.
Since it is caffeine free, it makes a great drink any time for all ages.
The regular consumption of buckwheat tea may have several health benefits. It is believed to regulate blood pressure and stimulate blood circulation. It is also known for its powerful antioxidant properties.
It is delicious as it is, but some people like it as a cocktail, blended with whiskey or shōchū.
*Please note that buckwheat might trigger allergic reactions.
