I was craving mugicha, and all I had was Lupicia’s with lychee flavor, which isn’t the same.

I ordered a 52-bag pack of big 10g bags for fridge steeping, then went ahead and just hot steeped one in my big mug. Served hot, it tastes like mugicha, and not much like coffee to me. Served iced, there’s a strong similarity to coffee, such that I also made an iced mocha with oat milk and chocolate syrup, mmm.

I wonder how much variation there is between brands of plain mugicha. I’ve yet to be disappointed by any.

Flavors: Coffee, Roasted Barley

Preparation
Boiling 6 min, 0 sec 10 g 16 OZ / 473 ML

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
