Sobacha tea is roasted buckwheat tea. This specific sobacha is made from dattan soba 韃靼蕎麦 (tartary buckwheat, also known as bitter buckwheat) grown in the Towada City of Aomori Prefecture and contains 100 times the amount of rutin (1500mg / 100g) compared to common buckwheat.

Aomori-grown sobacha is roasted slightly longer than others bringing out a creamy flavour and aroma...almost like peanut butter.
