Kikicha by Hinosabo
24 KINDS OF WILD GRASSES AND GRAINS BLENDED, HAVE TO WORK.
There are tons of healthy foods sold as natural medicine. In Japan, such natural medicine are often sold as "super food". Chia seed, basil seed, tiger nuts, coconut oil, dried fruits, and so so on. There are hundreds of'em you can buy and I imagine there are very few people who definitely know what to buy.
Well, I am easily urged to buy such healthy food or drink as soon as I see it at a store. I could say buying something new is fun part about it.
I am not going to say you should stop buying new stuff every time you find. You should. But what if I tell you there is a tea that improves hay fever, nasal allergy, atopic dermatitis, diabetes, swelling, and balance of your diet? Should be interested.
"Kikicha" made by Hinosabo is the one you want. 24 different kinds of wild grasses and grains are blended. Additive and caffein free, so even infant and expectant mother can drink this tea.
Tastes roasted green tea slightly. Wild grass and wheat is what I felt. Neither simple nor unpleasant. I got used to the taste on second round.
