To make the germinated buckwheat tea, soluble solid contents, total flavonoid contents and organoleptic properties were investigated under various steaming time and drying temperature. The optimum condition of soluble solid contents were 6.93 min of steaming time and 73.59$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. Total flavonoid contents were maximum under the condition of 5.22 min of steaming time and 79.05$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The optimum condition of overall palatability was 6.00 min of steaming time and 77.33$^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The optimum ranges of soluble solid contents, total flavonoid contents and overall palatability of the tea were 5.4∼7.0 min of steaming time and 75∼8$0^{\circ}C$ of drying temperature. The values expected in the optimum ranges were also similar to the experimental values.
