{"product_id":"ippodo-mugicha-one-pot-tea-bags","title":"Mugicha - One Pot Bags","description":"\u003cp\u003eMugicha is one of Japan's most widely consumed daily teas, prepared from roasted barley rather than tea leaves. Naturally caffeine free and deeply refreshing, it has been enjoyed across generations as an everyday household drink, particularly during the warmer months when it is commonly served chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Kyoto tea house Ippodo, these one pot tea bags offer a convenient way to prepare larger volumes without compromising flavour. Each bag contains carefully roasted barley selected to produce a tea that is smooth, comforting and remarkably easy to drink throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is warm and inviting, recalling toasted grain, caramelised malt and freshly baked bread crust. When prepared hot, Mugicha is rounded and comforting with notes of roasted barley, malt and gentle nuttiness. The flavour is full without heaviness, offering depth and sweetness without bitterness or astringency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServed cold, Mugicha takes on a lighter and more refreshing character. The roasted grain notes remain present, though the profile becomes cleaner and more thirst quenching, making it particularly well suited to warmer weather and larger format brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst often regarded as a simple household beverage, the quality of Mugicha is shaped by the same attention to sourcing, roasting and flavour development that defines Japan's broader tea culture. Drawing upon more than three centuries of tea expertise, Ippodo's version delivers a particularly balanced and approachable interpretation of this enduring Japanese staple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight | 10g x 18 Bags\u003cbr\u003eOrigin | Kyoto, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Suited For\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e• Hot brewing\u003cbr\u003e• Cold brewing\u003cbr\u003e• Family and household drinking\u003cbr\u003e• Evening drinking\u003cbr\u003e• Naturally caffeine free consumption\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•Tamago sando\u003cbr\u003e• Grilled fish and simple Japanese home cooking\u003cbr\u003e• Cold soba or somen noodles\u003cbr\u003e• Japanese curry rice\u003cbr\u003e• Toast with butter and fruit preserves\u003cbr\u003e• Watermelon, peach and pear\u003cbr\u003e• Rice crackers and lightly salted savoury snacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFounded in Kyoto in 1717, Ippodo Tea has spent more than three centuries dedicated to Japanese tea. Originally established as Omiya by Rihei Watanabe, the business later received the name Ippodo from Prince Yamashina, who admired the quality of its teas and encouraged the family to preserve a singular commitment to excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Ippodo remains family owned and is overseen by the sixth and seventh generations.
