What is Buku-Buku tea
Buku-buku tea is a traditional tea of Okinawa with a unique flavour with giant white bubbles rising from the tea bowl and the fragrance of roasted rice. By using a large wooden bowl called "Buku-Buku- Sara" and a large whist to make Buku-Buku tea. There are no rules such as how to make or drink this tea. Just enjoy Okinawan atmosphere. It was considered a summer drink for caring thirst; now, it is a drink in all seasons.Buku-Buku tea was consumed at celebrations, especially to celebrate the beginning of the journey.
It is entirely different from the Japanese Tea Ceremony called "Sado". This tea style belongs "Furicha" Group.(f.g Bata-Bata tea from Niigata, Bote-Bote tea from Shimane)
ブクブクー茶は、茶碗から盛り上がった白い豊かな泡と煎り米の香りが特徴的な沖縄の伝統茶です。大きな茶せんとブクブクー皿と呼ばれる茶道具を使ってブクブクー茶を点てます。お茶の点て方や飲み方には決まったルールが無いので、お気軽に沖縄の雰囲気を楽しみながら、お飲み下さい！かつては、夏に喉を潤す飲み物とされていましたが、現在では季節を問わず楽しまれています。ブクブクー茶は、縁起の良い物＝（カリーナムン）とされ、特に旅立ちの祝いに用いられていました。
ブクブクー茶は、日本の茶道とは全く異なります。種類としては”振り茶”に当たります。（新潟県のバタバタ茶、島根県のボテボテ茶等と同様）
