Soba Roasted Buckwheat is a traditional Japanese specialty that is prepared as you would an herbal tisane. It is naturally caffeine-free, with a delightful toasty flavor and nutty undertones. It was always Brigitte Harney's favorite on our visits to the former Takashimaya on Fifth Avenue, NY, where we supplied tea for their renowned tea room over many years. We've since found a fine source and are pleased to continue offering it. This Soba tea can be eaten and cooked with!
