This tea is super roasty – and I love it. I love all grains. So this tea is right up my alley. I have tried other soba cha’s before, but this one is the most roasty I have tried. This tea reminds me of the half popped popcorn in the bottom of the bag, DELICIOUS!
I tried a bit of the dry buckwheat, and I also ate the steeped buckwheat. Just like cereal, Mmmmm.
The tea tasted like roasty buckwheat/super toasted but not burnt brown bread/half popped popcorn. This is turning into one of my favorites.

Just occurred to me – did Sil send you any of the buckwheat tea she brought back from China? I can’t recall whether you swapped before or after. If so, and if you’ve tried it, how does it compare?
Yes she did. The H and S one is much more roasty in taste. The buckwheat ganules are also a lot smaller, so I think it might be a different kind of buckwheat. But other than the roasty level, they are pretty similar to eachother.
