Mugicha is a caffeine-free tea made from roasted barley, enjoyed daily throughout Japan, especially as an iced beverage in the sweltering summer months. Due to its widespread popularity, most of the Mugicha consumed within the country is produced cheaply from inferior-quality barley. We've sourced our Mugicha from Kawahara Seifun who hand roast domestic Japanese Rokujo Barley directly in Tokyo. The result of this intentional sourcing and preparation is a deep and rich brew that shines when prepared cold but is versatile and refined enough to brew up hot in the cooler seasons. We expect this to be a Kettl staple for years to come.
