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

Very flavorful, calming, great value. I like it cold brew in pitcher, very refreshing in the summer.

I'm on my third purchase of this Ito En Mugicha Roasted Barley Tea, and I've gotta say, it's really become my favorite. One could even say it's 'barely tea' with how little caffeine it has, which is basically none, and that's a huge plus for me. When I steep it, I always get this lovely brown color that's really inviting. It's got a really nice earthy flavor to it, too, which I appreciate. I've been looking for good options for when I want something warm but without the jitters, and this tea totally fits the bill. It's a satisfying drink that I can enjoy any time of day, and that zero caffeine content means I don't have to worry about it keeping me up.

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.

This is the first time trying barley tea. I was impressed with its taste. A great alternative to drinking water for hydration. I like the health benefits too.

I like the smoky smell and good for sleep

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.

I am originally from Japan, and I drank Mugicha all the time (especially in Summer!). Mugicha is very popular in Japan bc no caffeine in it! Since I found these mugicha packs on Amazon I buy them constantly! If you are looking for a non-caffeine, zero-calorie drink this tea is for you!

The tea is mediocre: it has a bitter aftertaste. The flavor is on the weak side, so I left the bag brewing for ten minutes. That's when the bitter flavor developed. So, it's a no-win situation: shorter brew and weak flavor or longer brew for a bitter flavor.

i love the taste especially when cold, 1 bag is good for 1ltr
