Registered Dietitian’s Recommendation #1: Gentle, Fragrant Flavor
Registered Dietitian
Yurie Ando
Organic Black soybean tea is gentle on the body and packed with nutrients.
Black soybean tea is called Kuromamecha in Japanese. This caffeine-free, mild-tasting tea is often enjoyed during pregnancy or before bed, but in fact, with its abundant nutrients from black soybeans, it’s the perfect daily tea for those who are health-conscious.
The ingredients are 100% organically grown black soybeans, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
A comforting flavor with a roasted aroma reminiscent of kinako
The rich, roasted fragrance of black soybeans reminds you of kinako (roasted soybean flour).
The taste is smooth and mellow, without any bitterness, and has a gentle thickness.
It’s comforting and soothing as a hot drink, and even when served iced, the smooth, mild flavor—without any bitterness—makes it easy for children to gulp down, quenching their thirst.
Recommended Usage for Black Soybean Tea Bags
For a quick and easy brew
With its mildly sweet and smooth flavor, it’s perfect for relaxation time before bed or after meals.
- Place one tea bag into a teapot or cup.
- Pour 200ml of hot water.
- Cover and let it steep for 3 minutes.
For a stronger brew
For those who want to fully enjoy the flavor of black soybeans and even savor the leftover beans:
- Put one tea bag into a pot or iron kettle.
- Add 500ml of hot water.
- Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, wait for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bag. It’s ready to enjoy!
Iced Tea
For hydration during the summer, iced black soybean tea, which is smooth and free of bitterness, is highly recommended.
- Let the brewed tea cool after steeping or boiling.
- Pour the cooled black soybean tea into a glass filled with ice. Done!
※You can also chill it in the refrigerator in a water pot or take it in a thermos for hydration at the office or when out and about.
Registered Dietitian’s Recommendation #2: As an Everyday Tea
While it’s delicious as a hot drink, you can also enjoy it cold after brewing and chilling it, making it perfect for hydration during the summer.
It also contains nutrients like black soybean polyphenols and dietary fiber, which are hard to get in your regular diet, so it’s great to incorporate into your tea habit.
Green tea or matcha is a common pairing with traditional Japanese sweets, but for those concerned about caffeine, black soybean tea is also a great match.

Various Ways to Enjoy the Leftover Black Soybeans After Brewing
The leftover black soybeans after drinking the tea are also edible.
They retain abundant nutrients, such as dietary fiber, similar to soybeans, which don’t dissolve into the tea.
You can add them to your meals, or enjoy them as a healthy snack or side dish that’s gentle on your stomach.

Polyphenols in Black Soybeans to Support Daily Health
Anthocyanin
The skin of black soybeans contains a type of polyphenol called anthocyanin.
Anthocyanin is found in purple-colored foods like blueberries, eggplants, and red wine and is a beneficial nutrient for UV protection and relieving eye strain.
Isoflavones
The germ of black soybeans contains isoflavones, a type of polyphenol commonly found in soybeans and legumes.
Isoflavones have a structure and function similar to the female hormone estrogen and support beauty and health, especially for women who want to stay youthful.
Saponin: A Friend to an Unbalanced Diet
Saponin in black soybeans supports liver function.
For those who consume alcohol or fatty foods frequently or feel burdened by an irregular diet, black soybean tea is recommended to help maintain the liver’s natural strength and keep it in optimal condition.
Registered Dietitian’s Recommendation #3: Caffeine-Free for Everyone
Since black soybean tea is caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed by all ages, including children and pregnant women. It also contains nutrients such as black soybean polyphenols and dietary fiber, making it a great option for those concerned about bloating, constipation, or lifestyle-related diseases.
Drinking it before or during meals brings out its toasty flavor and helps prevent overeating, making it a good choice for those who are watching their weight or dieting.

Question and Answer About Organic Black Soybean Tea
How much black soybean tea should I drink in a day?
It’s recommended to drink 3 to 5 cups per day. The polyphenols in black soybean tea peak about 2 hours after consumption and are said to disappear in about 4 hours, so drinking it regularly throughout the day is recommended.
