Description

In Japan, buckwheat seeds (soba in Japanese) are primarily used to make sobacha, a caffeine-free, calorie-free tea known for its antioxidant properties. Roasted buckwheat is also often used in pastries and other desserts. Here, the buckwheat seeds are crushed for faster infusion and easier inclusion in pastries.

This buckwheat is packaged in bulk, not in individual sachets.

Flavor

Sobacha has a sweet, round, lightly toasted nutty flavor that lingers on the palate with a crisp, crunchy texture.

Conservation

Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
