[Purely Original] Naturally Grown Barley Tea

Purely's original Kyushu-grown naturally grown barley tea

When it comes to drinks that people want to have during hot weather, barley tea is definitely the one.

It reminds me of my mother making it in the kettle when I was a child.

Purely's original barley tea product, a summer staple, is back in stock this year!

The barley used is naturally grown two-row barley from Matsumoto Kazuhiro in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The barley used for barley tea is naturally grown two-row barley by Matsumoto Kazuhiro in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

Matsumoto's family has been farming for generations in Asakura City, located in the southeast of Fukuoka Prefecture.

After going through conventional and organic farming, they have been practicing natural farming since 2007.

He is also one of the field crop division leaders of the Kyushu Block of the National Natural Farming Promotion Association, and is actively involved in promoting natural farming.

Kazuhiro Matsumoto, a producer of naturally grown two-row barley.

The naturally grown Sasanishiki rice produced by Matsumoto is extremely popular nationwide, with a long waiting list of people waiting for cancellations.

Our naturally grown eggplants, peppers, and potatoes also have many fans.

Matsumoto's two-row barley is grown naturally, without the use of any fertilizers or pesticides during the cultivation period.

The precious naturally grown two-row barley is an extremely high-quality barley that exudes a rich barley aroma even before it is roasted.

Each grain was tightly packed with fruit and felt heavier than it looked.

The processing is done by Marubishi, a JAS organic certified factory.

We asked Marubishi Co., Ltd., which has a factory in Okayama Prefecture, to roast and process the barley tea.

Marubishi has been inspected by an organic registration certification agency and has been evaluated as an organic certified factory that meets the organic JAS standards.

About 40 staff members use roasting equipment and also work hard to make delicious, flavorful barley tea, one by one by hand.

Marubishi produces high-quality barley tea. Their processing plant is located in the middle of a peaceful rural landscape.

The most important aspect of the barley tea manufacturing process is the temperature control during roasting.

At Marubishi, the roasting level is adjusted using expert skill depending on the barley variety, season, amount, and condition.

The technique is called "Marubishi Four-Degree Roasting," and by slowly roasting the barley using far-infrared rays, we are able to produce barley tea with a rich aroma and a clean flavor with little bitterness.

It is caffeine-free and safe for small children and pregnant women.

This time, we have tea bag type and round grain type available.

The tea bag type comes in a pack of 20.
The round grain type comes in a pack of 300g.

For tea bag type, place one tea bag in approximately 1.5L of water and store in the refrigerator.

Delicious barley tea will be ready in about 3 hours.

Adjust the steeping time to get the strength you like.

Add 15g of barley tea to about 1L of boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let sit until it reaches your desired thickness and then enjoy.

Barley tea does not contain caffeine, so it is safe for small children and pregnant women.

Enjoy it not only in hot seasons but also as hot barley tea in cooler seasons.
