Call it a sipping broth, a soup tea, a savory tea… In Japan, kombu or kelp seaweed is often used as a base for broth and has also been consumed as a refreshing drink rather than a soup served with a meal. From a Western perspective, the savory, salty flavor makes it more of an instant soup, but we encourage you to drink it as a tea, in the mid-afternoon, to rejuvenate yourself for the rest of the day. This variation is flavored with Japanese plum and a hint of matcha. Single packet (2g) in image. Product Info Ingredients: Table salt, dextrin, arare (rice cracker bits), dried Japanese plum (ume), matcha green tea powder, kombu (kelp seaweed) extract / flavoring (amino acids, etc), acidulant, flavoring, purple corn food coloring.
