Black Tartary Buckwheat Tea (Fagopyrum tataricum) is a roasted herbal tea made from the whole plant of black tartary buckwheat, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hēi Kǔqiáo (黑苦荞).

Its nature is slightly cool and its flavor is lightly bitter with a toasted, nutty sweetness, making it a gentle yet satisfying brew for everyday drinking.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, black tartary buckwheat is roasted and brewed as a daily grain tea, often served after meals or during cool seasons to warm the body and settle the stomach. It is a common household infusion in the mountainous regions of Sichuan, where it is drunk plain or blended with other roasted grains. In TCM food therapy, it is traditionally associated with supporting digestion and harmonizing the middle burner, and it is sometimes paired with jujube, goji berry, or chrysanthemum for a gentle seasonal brew.
