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!

Jacob J. ★★★★★

The first time I sipped it, that roasted, nutty kick hit just right—feels like a warm hug in a mug. Knowing there's zero caffeine makes it my go-to evening wind-down, and the toasty aroma alone is worth it.

Adam ★★★★★

Brewed a pot last night and the aroma alone filled the kitchen with that deep, roasted warmth. It’s my new caffeine-free evening ritual, and the nutty undertones really come through with each sip.

Steven S. ★★★☆☆

The toasty, nutty flavor is nice and it’s genuinely caffeine-free, which I appreciate. But the bag I got was mostly fine dust rather than whole kernels, so it brews up a bit murky and the texture in the cup is off. It’s okay for a change of pace, just not something I’d reach for daily.
