At a Glance

Made with Rokujou barley and roasted using a far-infrared method to enhance the aroma and sweetness of our Barley Tea. Cultivated and roasted by a family farm since the Meiji era in 1874, Mugicha is a caffeine-free, zero-calorie herbal tea popular in Japan during spring and summer. 

Ideal for all ages and times of day, each pouch contains 30 tea bags, each brewing one liter—perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Tasting Notes

Roasted Barley Tea offers a full-bodied, nutty flavor with caramel hints. Similar to a light iced coffee, it’s particularly refreshing and hydrating when chilled, ideal for hot, humid days. Best enjoyed cold-brewed, but can also be enjoyed hot.
