Crushed barley tea “Tsubuko” – 小川の麦茶つぶこ 冷水/煮出し用 – 10g x 10p

Crushed “Tsubuko” is made by crushing Ogawa’s “Tsubumaru” barely tea and carefully removing excess powder. The richness and aroma of “Tsubushimaru” are retained, while the beautiful transparency and clean taste are achieved.

Barely powder, which can cause a cloudy appearance and taste, is carefully removed by shaking and filtered further by using specially processed paper cartons that are designed to prevent the formation of powder while brewing in water or boiling water.

This new barley tea is unprecedented in that it can be brewed with cold water and still have the same traditional aroma and sweetness of barely as when boiled.
