Aiji is a premium sobacha made from roasted Dattan soba, a special variety of buckwheat grown in Hokkaido and valued for its high rutin content. Traditionally enjoyed in Japan for supporting digestion and healthy blood sugar levels, this caffeine-free tea offers a smooth, nutty sweetness with a toasty aroma, making it a comforting and nourishing tea for any time of day.

The name Aiji (愛児), meaning “beloved child,” reflects the tea’s warmth and gentle nature. Rich in essential minerals, Sobacha Aiji is made for daily rituals, mindful breaks, or sharing a moment of comfort with those you care for. The tender buckwheat kernels can also be enjoyed after brewing as a wholesome, satisfying snack.
