Sobacha tea is roasted Buckwheat tea. This specific Sobacha is made from Dattan Soba (tartary buckwheat, also known as bitter buckwheat) grown in Towada City of Aomori Prefecture and contains 100 times the amount of rutin (1500mg / 100g) compared to common buckwheat.
Roasty flavor of Sobacha is caffeine-free and is recommended to be drank at any time of the day. It can be used as your salad topping!
Compared to Hokkaido-grown Dattan Sobacha, the Aomori-grown Sobacha is roasted slightly longer and brings out a slightly less powerful buckwheat flavor, and has quite a creamy flavor and aroma...almost like peanut butter.
