wowsa, was this ever smooth!! I got a tad of the normal tea/wearing sensation, but nothing like the crude abrasiveness I experienced with the T&T variety awhile back. YUMMM!!!
The barley flavour was just strong enough that I craved more, and the roasted flavour was not overdone either. This is rich in calcium, and tasty… AND great iced. The aroma is intoxicating to.
This is love… well, as much love as I could have for an iced tea. There is something about holding a hot beverage that will always have a special place in my heart. err, stomach. err hands! yes, that’s it… :P

I love barley tea! I cold brew it pretty much daily for my kids. They love it, too.
oh, good! I included a few bags for you to try in the sampler package… I’m excited to hear about what you think of it!!
I can’t wait! Maybe it’ll be here in time for Christmas… ;) I’m guessing my package to you hasn’t arrived either. I know that barley has protein. I wonder if any of it passes to the steeped tea?
this link I found on livestrong says there is, but there are so many variables, I’m not sure what they are…

ha, merry Christmas!!! and yes, your package arrived, I just opened it!! thankyou QG, so generous!! it pays to look in the front room… (where we keep our mail, I just got home) lol
Woo-hoo! :) Glad it got there.
I’m going with it and saying that there’s protein, then. Yet another reason for the kiddos to drink it.
I forgot what I put in that package… whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it. :D
Yet another tea I must try on your recommendation. You are dangerous to my wallet! ;) But especially since I can’t have milk, finding calcium-rich foods is a must.
QG: There are some really good ones in there! I don’t know which one to play with first lol
LKK: I love it, just beware, this one is an acquired taste, being roasted and all- my best friend is Japanese so I’ve been drinking it since I was in elementary school… but it is an addiction to be sure!
oh and a magazine I read says barley is one of nature’s super-foods… eating away at bad cholesterol. Yay! :)
oh and we’re SO agreed on the calcium… I shouldn’t have much milk myself as I don’t do well with it(but indulge anyhow, moderately). apparently this tea has something like ten times the amount of calcium that milk does! :P
Well, I look forward to trying it and I hope it’s a tasty option for me! .
