Premium Wellness Benefits & Flavor Attributes:
  • Natural Summer Cooling Properties: According to Eastern holistic principles, roasted barley helps naturally release core body heat, making it vastly superior to iced coffee or sugary sodas for long-lasting summer hydration.
  • Zero Caffeine Jitters: Because it contains absolutely zero tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), it is 100% caffeine-free. It can be enjoyed in unlimited quantities at bedtime, by pregnant or nursing mothers, and as an everyday safe hydration source for toddlers.
  • Cardiovascular & Digestive Support: Rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and alkylpyrazines, mugicha helps support clean blood circulation, improves digestion, and protects oral hygiene via natural antibacterial properties.
  • Deep Double-Roasted Aroma: Ito En’s proprietary roasting methodology heats the barley grains symmetrically from the inside out, delivering a rich, full-bodied toastiness without burning the grain exterior.
🍵 Traditional Japanese Dual-Brewing Methods:
🧊 Method A: Refreshing Cold-Brew (Mizudashi) — *Most Popular*
1. Place exactly one tea bag into a 1-liter refrigerator pitcher or water jug.
2. Pour in 1 liter of clean, cold drinking water.
3. Transfer the container directly into the refrigerator and allow it to cold-steep for approximately 1 hour. Stir gently and remove the tea bag to lock in a perfectly clean, smooth flavor.
🔥 Method B: Comforting Hot-Steep (Ouyushiki)
1. Bring 1 liter of fresh water to a full boil in a kettle, then turn off the heat source.
2. Crucial Tip: Do not leave the tea bag inside water while it is actively boiling on the burner, as over-extraction will create an unpleasant, bitter edge.
3. Drop one tea bag into your heat-resistant pot or pitcher, pour the boiled water over it, and let it steep undisturbed for 10 minutes. Remove the bag and serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature before chilling.
⚠️ Storage & Freshness Notice:

Because this product contains no chemical preservatives, once you unseal the main outer packaging, transfer the remaining barley tea bags into an airtight container or a tightly sealed ziplock bag. Store them in a cool, dark, and completely dry pantry away from sunlight and intensely fragrant spices to shield the delicate roasted aroma.
