Some buckwheat teas are made from buckwheat, while others are made from black buckwheat. The active ingredients of black buckwheat are 3 to 5 times that of ordinary buckwheat. The "black buckwheat tea" made from black buckwheat is definitely better than the "buckwheat tea" made from ordinary buckwheat.

Black buckwheat tea can be divided into whole powder black buckwheat, bran black buckwheat, germ black buckwheat and whole plant black buckwheat. However, the content of "rutin" and "selenium" is highest in the bran, and the content of amino acids and dietary fiber is highest in the germ. The so-called whole plant tea is made from the roots, stems, leaves and other parts of buckwheat that should have been discarded. These leaves are easy to rot when put together, and will definitely go bad if not processed in time. Moreover, they can only be obtained when buckwheat is harvested.
