I really want to try this tea. I really need something good for caffeine free evenings!

I really think it is fantastic. I’ve heard of people roasting their own barley and using it to make tea, so in theory you could always attempt a do-it-yourself one if you are feeling brave and have a specialty grocery store around that sells buckwheat. Uhm, though buying from Maeda-en? Probably a whole lot easier.

@Carolyn The sample I had is gone, but I’m waiting on an order from them to come in. Want me to send you a bit?

@Auggy You’ve inspired me to try some more of my maeda-en sampler. Sipping on some dokudami-cha currently.

@takgoti I would love that! My great lack is non-caffeinated (or decaffeinated) teas that I can drink in the evening.

@Carolyn It’ll be sent out as soon as I get it in!

I recall your previous review, I’ve looked at the picture, I’ve read this review, I still can’t figure out what this is. It doesn’t look like tea, yet it is. Ahh the confusion. They look like cocoa puffs to me.

this is at the top of my list to buy. i’m thinking about just buying 2 packs right off the bat. i’m almost positive i’ll love this!

Ricky, It is buckwheat.

Aye, they’re much smaller than Cocoa Puffs.

First time I’ve ever heard of buckwheat. Just like first time I’ve heard of stevia and other herbs/plants.
