This one is from Cameron B! Thanks so much and now it’s a sipdown. I really like the couple barley teas I’ve tried from Lupicia…. I’ll have to be on the look out for more barley teas! I don’t think I’ve ever had any other barley teas? They seem so healthy for so many reasons and barley teas are a unique flavored no caffeine option. The flavor is like a roasty tasting coffee, with slight bitterness but it’s a delicious bitter, if that makes sense. This is a bit like the Teavivre Buckwheat that I love, but that is much sweeter and less bitter. I’m really trying to notice the plum flavor, but I really don’t. The second steep has just as much barley flavor and nutritional goodness. Anyone know of any tasty, cheaper barley teas that they like?
Steep #1 // 15 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 8+ minute steep

I get large teabags of the Hida Mugicha from Yunomi that are unflavored, plain roasted barley that I just drop in a quart of water and stick in the fridge overnight to coldbrew. Mugicha (roasted barley) drunk as an iced tea is sort of a thing in Japan, and I really love it that way myself. It harkens me back to when I used to drink iced coffee, except I can’t drink coffee now because it’s too acidic/harsh on my stomach. I get that flavor profile but the barley is super gentle on my tummy… plus being caffeine-free I can enjoy it any time.
Noted and Yunomi added to wishlist. :D
