Tokyo Mugicha Tea | 120g

Sale price$28.00

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.

Kettl 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.

Tasting Notes: Cacao Nibs / Roasted Peanuts / Smoky finish

About

Generally, the best teas come from rural, isolated areas of Japan where small volume and high demand make procuring them difficult. Kettl has established relationships with several of Japan's most notable tea producers, providing the highest quality Japanese tea to over 40 Michelin-star restaurants and cafes in the world. This is why we couldn’t be more excited to carry Kettl’s teas in the shop. Have their teas made-to-order or grab a bag for home. 

The next time you're in the city – you can also visit their flagship cafe and gallery space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn where they offer their entire tea line, ceramics, incense, and tea classes.
