Brewing

Brewing Roasted Barley Tea takes very little time and allows you to relish its nutty, roasted flavors without putting in much effort:

Water temperature: Slightly heat water to about 90-95°C (194-203°F) so the flavor of the roasted barley is at its maximum.

Steeping time: Pour 1-2 tablespoons of roasted barley grains or tea bags into a teapot or an infuser and place it in a cup and let it steep for between 5 to 10 minutes. The longer the tea is soaked, the stronger the roasted taste becomes.

Enhancements: Although Roasted Barley Tea has a nutty savory taste to it, honey or lemon can be added to it for enhancement. That being said, it is commonly offered without any alterations so that one can savor the roasted flavor.

Iced tea option: Brew the tea in the usual way, let it cool down, and serve over ice. Garnish with a slice of citrus or fresh mint to give this refreshing drink a new touch.

Enjoy: Sit back and sip Roasted Barley Tea hot or cold and enjoy the nutty, toasty taste that is sure to tantalise your taste buds.

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.

Are your teas certified organic?

Up until recently we were certified organic but due to rising administration costs and the difficulty of maintaining certification we've put this on hold for now. Our suppliers and farms remain the same without any change but just now label things are organic, pesticide free or wildcrafted.

This also allows us to maintain our current pricing without any increases which we feel is more important at this time.
