I started off with a sample and ended up buying a big bag of it. It has a dual purpose for me as a tea and cereal. I really love this. The aroma of the dried grains is of buckwheat, nuts, peanuts, a little sweetness of honey. There is a distinct peanut butter aroma, taste. It has a yummy rich nutty roasted-toasted flavor. It’ll be part of my stash for a long time coming. Very comforting and well, it’s healthy too so that’s a plus.
Flavors: Bread, Nuts, Nutty, Peanut, Toast, Toasty, Wheat

Yup hehe. Can make hot cereal out of it. There are porridge recipes with it on the net. Sometimes I just sprinkle it in yogurt or in kefir.
You eat it like a… cereal?!?!

Interesting! I haven’t tried to eat this one yet.. but I agree this is a cupboard staple.
I love soba (buckwheat) added to sencha… it tastes like a roasted peanut genmaicha to me!
Ooooo, that sounds interesting! I have had buckwheat tea but never ate it!
@tea-sipper and @ashmanra
I first got the idea from TeaVivre’s site where is says edible hehe. After that, I googled buckwheat recipes… Etc.
@Mastress Alita I have never tried it in sencha. I will now. :)
