Large barley tea bags, sand-roasted in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture.
Barley tea is a popular summer staple in households across Japan, known for its roasted barley flavour. Naturally caffeine-free, these large tea bags are ideal for brewing generous quantities to enjoy chilled or hot with family and friends.
Nabeshimameicha Inc.’s barley tea is gently sand-roasted to create a rich, aromatic flavour and a clear amber infusion without bitter or burnt notes.
The barley is sown in autumn and grows under snow through winter before being harvested in early summer. These conditions produce larger grains with a gentle sweetness.
