Damtuh Korean Roasted Barley Tea Bags, Caffeine-Free, 50 Count

A friend of mine, who happens to be a bit of a whiskey/bourbon fan, recently discovered she was pregnant. So, of course, that meant no partaking as she was accustomed to for a while. She wanted a non-alcoholic alternative just for the fun of still having her usual glass here and there, but also so she could still look like she was not avoiding alcohol in public while they decided how to announce to their friends. I set about trying to find something reasonable that would work. Most official non-alcoholic whiskey brands are absolutely garbage. Terrible fake flavoring that, not only doesn't taste like whiskey, actually taste terrible overall. After doing so extensive research into alternatives, I stumbled across barley tea. Now, of course, it still doesn't taste like whiskey, BUT it does have a rather pleasant taste (personally I get a slight woody taste, which is nice as it reminds one of whiskey, and a slight coffee taste) AND if brewed at a good strength, it does LOOK like a good whiskey. One could also easily make a reasonable virgin-old-fashioned with this as well, again, not exactly like the original, but honestly still pleasant to drink. There's no caffeine in it, so it's safe for pregnancy, and the fact that it is a pure barley tea means it's also pretty good for you in general. It's probably do a good job filling in for the original spirit for stage and independent film productions too. Here's the brewing method I used if you are interested in using it for the same purpose: 1 container of approx 1500ml water (will make roughly enough to fill two 750ml bottles) 8-10 tea bags (you may have to adjust to taste over time) leave sealed in fridge for 3-4 hours done you will need to store your bottles in the fridge after brewing as it can go bad at room temp

Delightful and delicious! Just what the Doctor ordered!! Helps so much with heartburn and tastes so good. I often have this nightly before bed.

Really good! I bring it to work to help me drink more water. I pour 20 oz hot water over 2 teabags in a stainless thermal bottle, add a little homemade spiced caramel syrup or horchata powder, and toss it into my work bag, while making my coffee. It's delicious hot or cold.

great tasting tea

This is absolutely the best barley tea on the market. It departs a rich and aromatic flavor and only takes a few minutes unlike the other barley teas that take forever. So much easier than the other ones out there.

This is such an easy and convenient way to enjoy barley tea. It steeps quickly, and tastes good every time. I have this tea at least once every day, and have come to rely on it. It is a great deal and good quality. It is good hot or cold, and I like that in just a few minutes, I can have a nice cup of barley tea.

Light, delicious and it really tastes like barely!!

We usually buy the kind that's not ground up leaves, it's more the actual grains, but I get lazy about the whole "boil, then simmer for 15 minutes" process and thought this might be a good quickie substitute. It's really just ok. Yes, it brews quickly and even in cold water, but the hubs and I just prefer the taste of the other tea and method overall. That has more of a lovely, subtly nutty flavor. I feel like it takes a lot more of these to make it as pronounced as we like, and it's not as smooth and lovely. Not likely to buy again.

Excellent. I love the taste and I make a big bottle daily and keep it in the fridge. Cold is very nice.

Good
