Lovely with: Best paired with savory dishes like rice meals, noodles, or grilled foods. Equally refreshing as a chilled summer drink or warm and comforting when hot.

This is hands-down the best 'mugicha' I have tasted in years and the flavour is really intense. Beats the the teabags by miles. It's my favourite iced in Summer but I'm going to run out long before then.

I can see how this tea would appeal to most people, but it wasn't really my thing. I was expecting more of a Barley flavour and less of a Roast flavour I think. I'm sure I'll find another use for it, just not as a tea for me.
