At a Glance
Made with Rokujou barley and roasted using a far-infrared method to enhance the smoky aroma and earthy 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, smoky nutty flavor with earthiness. 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.

Delicious! Mujicha has a great toasty/ nutty flavor. I take it at the end of meals, at tea time, and in the evening. There's no caffeine, which is why it's great to drink it all day and all night. In addition to quench your thirst! it has wonderful benefits for the health. It's a herbal tea that I recommend :-)
I love Senbird's barley tea, I pretty much always have one steeping in my fridge. Great for hot summer days.
Very delicious tea and high quality. Was refreshing to drink and very hydration. Great after a meal also.
Amazing tea, was delicious and extremely hydrating
