"Mugicha" or Roasted Barley Tea is a traditional drink that has been a favorite for centuries in the Asian. It is called mugicha in Japanese, and boricha in Korean. Naturally caffeine-free, its mellow, soothing flavor can be enjoyed by everyone at any time of day. While the tea is generally regarded as a cooling summer beverage in Japan, it is served year-round, hot in winter and cold in summer, in Korea. Served chilled in summer, it is delightfully cooling and refreshing. In winter, hot Mugicha is both warming and relaxing.
