This is a tea that came from a swap with Dexter3657.
A small portion of our swap was devoted to “odd choices”, stuff we thought was weird or different, whether we felt they were good or bad.
I already knew this buckwheat tea was a favourite of hers. I love buckwheat as a flour, makes awesome pancakes. But to think of it as a tea, not really. But I will try anything, so of course I’m happy she sent it since it’s not something I would ever go out of my way to buy.
It’s odd looking, like tiny little caramel crunch. You know I have to do it. You would to the same. I just took a pinch and threw it in my mouth. Crispy yummy. I think we’re on to something pretty tasty.
I followed Dexter’s instruction and brewed 5 min in boiling water.
Oh! This is definitely buckwheat pancakes in a cup, but with a big nutty toasted twist! Oh, and it reminds me of Genmaicha, without the tea, just a full cup of delicious roasted grain. I will have fun with what’s left, I will create my own Buckwheat Genmaicha with some delicious Sencha. I think it would be fantastic with some Yunnan Black as well.
I can’t thank you enough for this Dexter, this is being added to the shopping list!
(Yes, another favourite!)

love this one!
You are a genius!!! but I’m voting for Laoshan Black – or something equally as chocolaty…. maybe even special dark…. It’s nutty, roasty, grainy goodness – what’s not to love. (I like it with a little milk and sweet – it’s like kids cereal in a mug…)
So happy that you like it!!!!
Lol, I just drank Laoshan Black Genmaicha for the first time last night and didn’t even think of that one, of course it’s gonna work…will try both tonight I think, Teavivre’s Yunnnan and after Laoshan Black to compare. Lol, I will need a tin cause I also want to try Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black from Butiki. Sky is the limit!
Do you ever second steep it?
