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

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 tea is delicious!!! Smells good and taste so good! So refreshing!

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.

A refreshing barley tea I remember growing up my Japanese mom would occasionally serve this. Great caffeine free drink I love at night when I am not feeling herbal teas.

The flavor is definitely different. I put a bag in a gallon of water and set it in the refrigerator overnight. It’s very easy. I drink a glass full each day. It seems to be a good product. If you aren’t a fan of it unsweetened you can always add a bit of sugar.

The taste is nice and it's supposedly healthier than plain water. I always keep a jug of this tea handy in the fridge.

Very good tea, I really enjoy the roasted flavor. The tea bags are quite large. I like how this tea can be made cold or hot, both ways taste nice. I also like that it’s caffeine free and there’s a lot of bag in the package.

Great tea. Fast shipping, will buy again
