Ito En Mugicha Roasted Barley Tea, 54 Count Tea Bags, Caffeine Free

منتج ممتاز

Not gluten-free, but otherwise an ideal iced tea for summer. I love the convenience of cold-brewing the teabags overnight, and the flavor is better than other brands I've tried (although I also switched to using only filtered water, which I absolutely should have been doing all along). Taste is roasty-toasty, somewhere along the continuum of weak coffee and plain/original Cheerios. (If you sweeten it with a drizzle of agave syrup, it tastes like Sugar Smacks!) I've read that some people think it's a little bitter, but I haven't noticed that. There is definitely a bit of a cardboardiness to it though, although I consider that part of its charm!! I mostly drink it unsweetened and appreciate the flavor as being a little more nuanced and easier to drink than plain water (which even filtered has A Flavor to me). I also notice less of a stomach upset when I drink this as opposed to plain water; I would imagine it has some extra minerals (electrolytes?) due to the sediment and the fact that it's, you know. Barley. I like the large package; I wish the teabags were in groups of 2 or 4 (instead of 3) but that's a minor quibble. (I make 2 at a time to make 2 liters (quarts) of tea for the next day.) Protip: Do not leave the teabags in for longer than a few hours (if cold brewing) as the teabags themselves impart a papery flavor that's not great. If cold brewing overnight, take the teabags out in the morning. Price has gone up quite a bit but it's hard to argue the price of 2 Starbucks for a month or so of delicious tea, although I may look at other sources.

Nothing added. Straight barley tea, no flavors or caffeine added. Each bag makes 1-qt. I heat 4 cups of water, chuck in 2 bags, steep for 10 min. I pour it into a half-gallon Mason jar that already has a qt of room temp water, squeeze the tea bags, and it’s ready for the fridge. Tastes good, it’s healthy, and good value for the price. It’s also good hot or cold.

Great stuff. Super easy to make. Nostalgic flavor, good aroma. Worth it.

yummy mugicha. I had an "un-caffeinated tea" at a nearby noodle shop, to which my friend told me was roasted barley. This has a great, mild taste and I love to drink it hot or cold without sugar.

Very good tea, I really enjoy the roasted flavor. The tea bags are quite large. I like how this tea can be made cold or hot, both ways taste nice. I also like that it’s caffeine free and there’s a lot of bag in the package.
