Barley tea is a roasted-grain-based infusion made from barley. It is a staple beverage in many East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea. It has a toasty, bitter flavor.[1]
In Korea, the tea is consumed either hot or cold, often taking the place of drinking water in many homes and restaurants.[2][3] In Japan, it is usually served cold and is a common summertime refreshment.[4] The tea is also widely available in tea bags or bottled in Korea and Japan.[3][4]
Etymology
In China, barley tea is called dàmài-chá (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) or mài-chá (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".), in which dàmài (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) or mài (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "barley" and chá (Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "tea".
In Japan, barley tea is called mugi-cha (Script error: No such module "Lang".), which shares the same Chinese characters as Chinese mài-chá (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".), or mugi-yu (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".), in which yu (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) also means "hot water".
In Korea, barley tea is called bori-cha (Script error: No such module "Lang".), in which the native Korean bori (Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "barley" and Sino-Korean cha (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; Hanja: Script error: No such module "Lang".) shares the same Chinese character meaning "tea".
In Taiwanese Hokkien, barley tea is called be̍h-á-tê (Script error: No such module "Lang".), in which be̍h-á (Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "barley" and tê (Script error: No such module "Lang".) means "tea".
History
The Japanese aristocracy has consumed the tea since the Heian Period.[5][6] Samurai began to consume it in the Sengoku period.[7][6] During the Edo period, street stalls specializing in barley tea became popular among the common people.[8][9][6]
Availability
The tea can be prepared by boiling roasted unhulled barley kernels in water or brewing roasted and ground barley in hot water. In Japan, tea bags containing ground barley became more popular than the traditional barley kernels during the early 1980s and remain the norm today. The tea is also available prepackaged in PET bottles.
Bottled tea
Bottled barley tea is sold at supermarkets, convenience stores, and in vending machines in Japan and Korea. Sold mostly in PET bottles, cold barley tea is a common summertime drink in Japan.[4] In Korea, hot barley tea in heat-resistant PET bottles is also found in vending machines and in heated cabinets in convenience stores.[10] In Taiwan, while AGV barley tea is a well-known bottled barley tea, particularly at restaurants in Taiwan, bottled barley tea had not been widely accepted in the customer market until the 2020s.[11][12][13]
Blended barley and similar teas
In Korea, roasted barley is also often combined with roasted maize, as the latter's sweetness offsets the slightly bitter flavor of the barley. The tea made from roasted maize is called oksusu-cha (corn tea), and the tea made from roasted maize and roasted barley is called oksusu-bori-cha (corn barley tea). Similar drinks made from roasted grains include hyeonmi-cha (brown rice tea), gyeolmyeongja-cha (sicklepod seed tea), and memil-cha (buckwheat tea).
Roasted barley tea in ground form, and sometimes combined with chicory or other ingredients, is also sold as a coffee substitute.[14]
