Memil-cha (메밀차; "buckwheat tea") is a tea made from roasted buckwheat. Like other Korean teas, memil-cha can be enjoyed both warm and cold and is sometimes served in place of water. Recently, tartari buckwheat grown in Gangwon Province is popular for making memil-cha, as it is nuttier and contains more rutin.
Buckwheaet is husked, cooked, and dried. Dried buckwheat is then pan-fried without oil. For a part of buckwheat, ten parts of water is used. 5–10 millilitres (0.18–0.35 imp fl oz; 0.17–0.34 US fl oz) of roasted buckwheat is added to 90 °C (194 °F) water and infused for 2–4 minutes.
