SO GOOD!

I LOVE this tea. Not necessarily just the Harney version, but I love buckwheat tea in general.

I brewed up a big 2 L pitcher of hot tea. It is a bit light tasting because I didn’t use enough buckwheat. But it is still good. It is roasty and toasty. There is a sweet honey flavour without having to add anything.

I like to make a hot brew and half-puff the buckwheat, then I do a cold brew. I find it you try to do a cold brew straight away, it doesn’t steep as good.

Then I eat the evidence.

SO GOOD!

I really need to try some of this buckwheat tea. It sounds so strange to me but I just keep reading reviews of how great it is.

It’s AMAZING – if you want some VariaTEA just send me a PM – I have a tin and willing to share. :))

(Seconded about wanting to try it but thinking it sounds odd)

It reminds me of puffed wheat cereal…..

Agreed, it sounds strange and interesting and I love the idea that you can eat your steep!

A friend told me a bout Tartary buckwheat tea, a different type that is grows in the high mountains, apparently has way more nutrition than common buckwheat. It was delicious! Roasted nutty aroma & a taste of cocoa. This site has lot of info on buckwheat – check it out www.mount-zen.com

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
