Tartary Buckwheat Tea (Fagopyrum tataricum) — Whole-Plant Yellow Ku Qiao, Low-Temperature Slow-Roasted, 120g Jar

Tartary Buckwheat Tea (Fagopyrum tataricum) is a caffeine-free roasted grain tea made from the whole plant of yellow Ku Qiao (苦荞), a traditional food-herb grain known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Kǔ Qiáo (苦荞). Grown in Yunnan and gently puffed and slow-roasted at low temperature, it has been prized for centuries as a warming, grain-based daily beverage used to support digestion and harmonize the middle. Its nature is slightly cool and its flavor is lightly bitter-sweet, making it a gentle yet refreshing brew for everyday drinking.

When brewed, the kernels release a deep amber infusion with a rounded, nutty, gently bittersweet flavor and a clean, lingering finish — smooth enough to drink throughout the day without milk or sweetener.

In some regional traditions, the roasted grain is also simmered into congee and grain porridges as a nourishing everyday food.
