Barley tea is just so good hot or cold
I just love it
This is a game-changer for me! I can enjoy a soothing cup of barley tea any time of day, especially before bed, as it's naturally caffeine-free. It has very unique flavour profile and it has become a new favourite in my tea cabinet. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Really good and very nice taste
Very good tea. Pleasant and rich taste.
I must say I really like this tea. It's really unusual - the taste is slightly toasted, the smell almost reminds me a bit of coffee. I tried it both hot and cold - both tastes good, but the chilled version is particularly great, especially in summer.
Definitely give it a try if you haven't yet!
