A hands-on review of KALDI Coffee Farm's original product, Kagoshima burdock tea. It is a fragrant, mild, easy-to-drink, caffeine-free tea.

Kagoshima burdock tea

100% Kagoshima burdocks with skin are used. It is slowly roasted to give it a fragrant, mild, and easy-to-drink flavor. It is finely ground so that the ingredients can be extracted more easily. 12g (0.42oz) (8p) package, priced at 429 yen (tax included).

Kagoshima burdock tea Extraction method

1. In a teapot

Put one packet in a teapot, pour about 400 cc of hot water and leave it for about 3 minutes, then pour it into a teacup. In this case, the tea bag can be used 2 to 3 times.

2. In case of boiling

Put 1 packet in about 1 liter of boiling water, boil for about 3 minutes, and turn off the heat. When the desired thickness is reached, remove the tea bag.

3. When brewed in water

Place 1 packet in a container with about 500 cc of water and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours. When the desired consistency is reached, stir with chopsticks and remove the tea bag.

Kagoshima burdock tea - tried it

This time I used a stainless steel bottle instead of a teapot. 3 minutes produced a surprisingly dark brown color.



The taste is savory and mild. It is easy to drink with no astringency or bitterness. The aroma is not too strong, so it is good to drink with a meal.


Burdock tea contains inulin, a dietary fiber, and is expected to relieve constipation. It is caffeine-free and will be useful regardless of the occasion!
