YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Organic Japanese Barley Tea - 30 Large Bags, Caffeine-Free, Roasted Mugicha

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Organic Barley Tea is a caffeine-free, decaffeinated roasted barley infusion from Uji, Kyoto, offered in 30 large bags for a smooth, naturally nutty everyday beverage.

Carefully roasted and certified organic, this barley tea (mugicha) is produced in Japan from rare Uji barley, representing just a small fraction of domestic barley crops. Packaged in 30 generous tea bags, it aims to deliver a full-bodied, toasty flavor without caffeine, sugars, or calories—making it a versatile drink for different times of day and for every member of the household.

What makes this Uji barley tea different from regular barley blends?

The difference lies in origin and certification: YAMASAN KYOTO UJI sources organic barley grown in Uji, Kyoto, and the product is manufactured under strict Japanese quality systems including FSSC 22000 and organic JAS guidelines. The barley is roasted to develop a deep aroma and is decaffeinated, yielding a smooth taste without bitter tannins.

• Uses organic Uji-grown barley—rare among Japanese production
• Produced in a certified Japanese factory with FSSC 22000
• Roasted for rich aroma while keeping caffeine and tannins minimal
• Designed as a sugar-free, calorie-free infusion for daily drinking

How do I prepare the tea for the best flavor—hot or cold?

This barley tea is flexible: steep a bag in hot water for a warm, comforting cup or brew longer in cold water for a refreshing iced tea. Adjust steeping time to taste—shorter for milder notes, longer for a stronger, roasted profile—and use one large bag per 500–700 ml depending on desired strength.

• Hot: steep 1 bag in 500 ml hot water for 2–4 minutes
• Cold brew: place 1 bag in 800–1000 ml cold water, refrigerate 4–8 hours
• For concentrated brew, double bags or shorten dilution for iced servings
• No added sugar needed—natural roasted sweetness carries through

Is this barley tea suitable for children, sensitive stomachs, or evening drinking?

Because the tea is caffeine-free and low in tannins, many people choose it as a soothing alternative to caffeinated teas and soft drinks. Its gentle profile and nutrient content make it a common choice for families and those avoiding stimulants, although individual dietary needs vary.

• Decaffeinated—appropriate for evening enjoyment
• Low tannin content—less likely to irritate stomach lining
• Zero sugar and zero calories—suitable for calorie-conscious diets
• A balanced source of some vitamins, minerals, and fiber-related benefits
