Golden Drops is originally named as Sobacha. It is often served as a refreshing and soothing beverage in Japan, particularly during the hot summer months. It is also sometimes used as a base for other drinks, such as cocktails or lattes. According to our customer's reaction from tea-tasting, Golden Drops has been widely accepted by foreigners with its nutty, toasty flavor and slightly sweet aroma.
 
In Japan, sobacha has a long history and is often associated with health and wellness. Legend has it that the tea was first introduced to Japan by a Zen master who had traveled to China and was impressed by the health benefits of buckwheat tea.
 
According to the story, the Zen master was traveling through China when he came across a group of people who were living to a ripe old age, despite their harsh living conditions. When he asked them about the secret to their longevity, they told him about a tea made from roasted buckwheat groats. Intrigued, the Zen master brought the tea back to Japan, where it became known as sobacha.
