Konbu cha (lit. “kelp tea”) is a Japanese seasoning that can be mixed with hot water to create a savory tea or broth.This konbu cha is made from additive-free ingredients produced entirely in Japan; the kelp and beet sugar come from Hokkaido, while the specialty salt is produced in Hyogo Prefecture’s Ako City. Top-quality matcha powder is also added, resulting in an umami-rich, bitter yet salty and sweet seasoning.

Delicious Broth

I am reordering this Kombu cha yet again. It's a staple in my cupboard now, used as a refreshing hot drink but also as a quick soup base for chazuke or even for a quick summer soup. Sometimes I don't want a heavier dashi (or just want something quick) and this broth powder is just the thing. There's not too much tea flavor in it, just delicious umami. I add a few chopped green onions, fu and maybe a couple of slices of shiitake. Delicious.
