mmmm… of course I love this one. Thanks so much, Kawaii433! Other Steepsterers have not been wrong about this one! I knew I loved buckwheat… it’s a fantastic flavor change from a usual nighttime tea. BUT THEN added with anything chocolate flavored! That is amazing stuff. The buckwheat itself is somehow a complex flavored thing — I swear each sip is different as it moves around my tastebuds. And the chocolate just mixes perfectly with it. However, I think it would be even better with cocoa shells than cocoa nibs. I could always remedy that though, and add my own cocoa shells.
Steep #1 // 1 1/4 teaspoons for a full mug // 10 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // many minute steep (10+?)

I looked for this on Amazon recently … didn’t see it. Ashmanra shared a sample with me a while back though…it was sumptuous.
Harrumph, they don’t seem to have this blend at the moment…
This is so odd. There is no tasting note from me for this tea. I think I gave the pouch to someone who loved it, intending to replace it, but forgot to do so and then forgot it existed.
oh no! I hope this one is available again at some point! Ashmanra, I don’t see a double entry on Steepster for this tea anywhere, so I don’t know what happened to your note!
It seems they have moved to Dubai? Either way, I have found their website, but none with cocoa :( https://www.naturesownfactory.ae/buckwheat-tea
And found this cocoa one in Estonian shop here: https://ostakohe.ee/en/shop/natures-own-factory-en/tatratee-purustatud-kakaoubadega-100g/
However, not sure about shipping outside Estonia + I don’t know anyone there; but if they would deliver it to Finland, I can try to ask my Finnish friends to be a courier over the ocean :)
Thanks Martin – I don’t need any buckwheat right this moment, maybe another time.
But maybe others :)
