Buckwheat tea, known as memil-cha (메밀차) in Korea, soba-cha (そば茶) in Japan, and kuqiao-cha (苦荞茶) in China, is a tea made from roasted buckwheat.[1] Like other traditional Korean teas, memil-cha can be drunk either warm or cold and is sometimes served in place of water.[2][3] Recently, tartari buckwheat grown in Gangwon Province is popular for making memil-cha, as it is nuttier and contains more rutin.[2]
