Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) has been grown and enjoyed for centuries across Central and Eastern Europe, both in the kitchen and in traditional infusions. It is particularly valued for its warming, nutty character, which makes it a popular caffeine-free alternative to everyday tea. This pure single-ingredient infusion is prepared by Agrokarpaty in Slovakia.
The Herbs

Warming, nutty and pleasantly toasted, with a smooth, rounded finish. Enjoy it hot, or chilled over ice for a refreshing drink.
