Soba Tea

What is Soba Tea?

Soba tea is a traditional Japanese beverage made from roasted buckwheat kernels. It offers a comforting drink with a warm, nutty flavour. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a grain but a seed related to rhubarb, making soba tea naturally gluten-free and suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.

This traditional tea has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries, where it is known as sobacha. The roasting process enhances the natural sweetness of black Tartary buckwheat and creates a rich, toasty aroma reminiscent of freshly baked cookies.

Soba tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, and the dried groats can be eaten after steeping, making a crunchy, nutritious snack.
