Traditional Uses

In Chinese folk practice, roasted buckwheat has long been prepared as a household grain tea, especially in the highland regions of Sichuan where tartary buckwheat is a staple crop. Traditionally it was simmered or steeped and shared with family meals, and it is still commonly offered to guests after rich or oily dishes. In TCM theory buckwheat is considered cool in nature, and the roasted form is traditionally regarded as gentler for regular daily drinking.
