I used up the whole sample of this tea that Ubacat sent me – about 2 tablespoons.
And boy, was it a great idea! I love the way this tea smells. It’s got a deeper scent than other buckwheat I’ve tried. This one smells like cocoa and honey, actually – like a Crunch chocolate bar, the kind of chocolate that has rice crisps inside it.
This extends to the brewed tea. A lovely golden liquor with notes of honey, puffed rice, and roasted seame seeds. This is pretty awesome! I’ll see if I can get a second steep out of it.

Ooo…
Heh, it was your note from the other day that spurred me to try this! The second steep is a bit nuttier. But both buckwheat teas are super good.
I keep hoping to find one locally, but there’s just corn (not brave enough to try yet!) and barley (which I can’t have). One day I will find some! :)
Such interesting notes. Never would have expected them buckwheat tea.

I’m eyeing this again, but 250g! That’s a lot.
