My favorite Numi Tea. I go to this great Korean restaurant and they have their own barley tea and I couldn’t for the life of me find a tea that tastes like that. At the time, I mainly bought my tea from grocery stores, health stores. I bought so many “toasted” tea types. The restaurant serves it iced and hot. I can drink it forever. This tea came closest to me.

Simple, refreshing, toasted rice, toasted barley. I steep it following Numi’s instructions.

Flavors: Rice, Roasted Barley, Toasted Rice

Teavivre has an awesome barley, if you haven’t found it yet?

I get bags of Mugicha (Japanese roasted barley tea) from Yunomi, which I typically cold brew. I love that stuff. You can get bulk bags of a loose roasted barley from Hida for a pretty good price from them, or pre-bagged in packets to just be dropped into a liter of cold water for iced tea.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
