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 blood sugar balance, 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.

Delicious, and holds a lot of its flavor when re-steeping it several times.

I am obsessed with this tea.

A toasty aroma and filling, fiber-filled snack afterwards. I have been guzzling this tea all week.

Oishii!

I love drinking sobacha in the evenings, but this variety of tea can be hard to find. Luckily, I can have it delivered via subscription and never have to worry about running out. This sobacha has a mild flavor and is really enjoyable. I like that it's always packaged with care and includes a personalized note. Will definitely continue to order my sobacha through Senbird!
