Earlier
this summer I was given the chance to try Buckwheat Tea from Mount Zen for
the first time. I was a little skeptical at first, since I'm a creature of
habit and tend to stick to my classic Orange Pekoe tea. Also, the name itself
did not sound very appealing to me. Though, after a bit of research, I came
across a number of interesting facts and health benefits about Buckwheat Tea
which made me think otherwise. I want to share a few of these fun facts with you.
- Buckwheat is not related to wheat (because it's not a grass), it's related to rhubarb.
- It has many vitamins and minerals like B1 and B2.
- This tea may lower high blood pressure, cholesterol and certain types of cancer.
- Buckwheat can help increase or regulate your metabolism.
- It prevents the accumulation of body fat (by regulating bowel movements).
- If you want to drink it late at night, it's caffeine-free.
- This tea combines the health benefits of wine and coffee.
- Buckwheat has non-allergic substances so everyone can eat, drink or come into contact with it!
- You can eat the buckwheat after you've drank your cup of tea!
- This tea is pretty exclusive and hard to find so if you're intrigued, order yours here!
While
I can't say that I loved the taste of buckwheat, I really should start drinking
it for its health benefits! Don't be shy to try something new, you may be
surprised by it and who knows, maybe it'll grow on you eventually.
Thank
you Mount Zen for the wonderful samples!
