How Koreans Enjoy It · Recetas Coreanas

These are the everyday ways Memilcha is enjoyed in Korean households — experience it the authentic Korean way.

Hot Memilcha
따뜻한 메밀차
Place one tea bag in a mug (approx. 200ml) and pour in boiling water. Steep for 3–5 minutes. In Korea, this is the most common way to enjoy Memilcha — served in place of water during or after meals. Its warm, nutty flavour pairs beautifully with rich Korean dishes, leaving the palate feeling clean and refreshed.
Cold Memilcha
시원한 메밀차
Add 2–3 tea bags to a 1.5–2L pitcher, pour in boiling water, allow to cool, then refrigerate. A staple in Korean fridges during summer, this cold brew is refreshing, unsweetened, and perfectly thirst-quenching.
Memilcha with Korean BBQ
삼겹살·고기 곁들이
In Korea, it is common to enjoy Memilcha alongside grilled meats such as Samgyeopsal (pork belly) or Bulgogi. The roasted, nutty flavour gently cuts through the richness of the meat, making it a natural companion to Korean BBQ.
After-Meal Tea
식후 차 한 잔
A warm cup after a full Korean meal — Bibimbap, Kimchi Jjigae, or a traditional set menu. Served as a classic finish in Korean restaurants, its gentle, toasty flavour cleanses the palate without any heaviness.
Caffeine-Free Evening Tea
밤에도 부담 없는 차
Because Memilcha is completely caffeine-free, it is enjoyed in Korea by the whole family — from children to the elderly — even in the evening or at night. Wind down with a warm cup before bed.
Memilcha Cooking Water
밥·죽 짓는 물
In Korean households, brewed Memilcha is sometimes used in place of plain water when cooking rice or porridge (Nurungji / Juk), adding a subtle, toasty grain aroma. A simple Korean kitchen tip for elevating everyday steamed rice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Memilcha (Buckwheat Tea)? How is it different from regular green tea or black tea?

Memilcha is a traditional Korean grain tea made from roasted buckwheat kernels. Unlike green tea or black tea, which use tea leaves, this product is made from 100% roasted buckwheat with no tea leaves whatsoever. As a result, it contains absolutely no caffeine, making it suitable for children, pregnant women, and evening consumption. The flavour is nutty and mild — similar in character to barley tea or hojicha (roasted green tea) familiar to European palates, with a warm, toasty, slightly nutty aroma. It can be enjoyed both hot and cold.

Is this product suitable for Vegans or Vegetarians?

Yes, this product is suitable for both Vegans and Vegetarians. The only ingredient is 100% roasted buckwheat, and it contains no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever.

I have gluten intolerance — is it safe for me to drink this product?

Despite the word "wheat" appearing in its name, buckwheat is botanically unrelated to wheat and does not naturally contain gluten. However, the EU export version label of this product carries a cross-contamination warning: "May contain Cereals containing Gluten." Therefore, individuals with Coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity should exercise caution, and we recommend consulting a doctor or dietitian if in doubt.

Can some people be allergic to buckwheat? Are there any allergy warnings I should know about?

Buckwheat is not included in the EU's list of 14 mandatory allergens; however, allergic reactions to buckwheat have been reported in some consumers, particularly those of Asian origin. As the main ingredient of this product is 100% roasted buckwheat, anyone with a known buckwheat allergy should avoid consumption. Additionally, as noted above, the label indicates a possible risk of cross-contamination with cereals containing gluten. If you have any allergy concerns, please consult a medical professional before consuming.

How do I brew Memilcha? What is the correct way to prepare it?

Memilcha is very simple to prepare. Place one tea bag in a cup (approx. 200–250ml) and pour over hot water (around 90–95°C). Steep for 3–5 minutes. A longer steeping time will produce a richer, nuttier flavour. It can be enjoyed hot, or cooled and served over ice as a cold drink. Adding a little sugar or honey introduces a gentle sweetness. In Korea, it is common to drink Memilcha in place of water during meals, and it is particularly refreshing after rich or oily food.
