Unlike the famous Genmaicha (green tea with puffed rice), Sobacha Green Tea uses roasted buckwheat to bring a different aromatic depth. The delicately roasted buckwheat groats release warm notes of nuttiness and toast, which round out the slight bitterness of the green tea. Sobacha is renowned in Japan for its numerous health benefits. Rich in rutin (a powerful antioxidant) and calorie-free, it aids circulation and digestion. It's the ultimate "wellness" drink, enjoyable at any time of day or night.

Sobacha Green Tea is a tea of ​​contrasts. It combines the briny freshness of the Japanese coast with the earthy warmth of buckwheat fields.

• Finish (Length on the palate): A smooth persistence of the roasted grain. The finish is clean, without any astringency, leaving a clean sensation on the palate.
