Mugi-Cha, Japanese Barley Tea, Teabags For Coldbrew

Making barley tea (mugicha) is an old tradition in Japan, when you need a drink that is gentle and mouth-watering. This mugi-cha is from Hida, located in Gifu.
Hida mugi-cha is an exquisite barley tea, as the producer has a long tradition of making this tea with the utmost care. The barley kernels overwinter in the snow, where the kernels ripen and this enhances the sweetness in the kernels. Hida mugi-cha also has a popular aroma, which is attributed to the unique sand roasting process it goes through to create the final product.

Usually the barley kernels are roasted in a pan, but Hida mugi-cha goes through a traditional sand roasting process, which is a more careful process.
The barley kernels are roasted slowly in drums with sand, which gives a rich aroma and fragrance and a beautiful golden color to the tea.

This mugi-cha is cut kernels, packed in a tea leaf, so that you can make an extract in cold water. It is packed with 10 grams per tea leaves and there are 10 tea leaves in a package.

Ingredients: barley.
