Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Here's what I found in a quick Google, on Appetite for China, dianekuansblog. "Barley tea, is a popular drink in Japan (where it is called mugicha) and Korea (boricha), and somewhat less popular in China (dàmàichá). In the West the most common non-English name is mugicha. . . . In Japan it is as popular as lemonade is in the US as a summer beverage. " This possibility had never occurred to me. I avoid any sort of flavored tea, but I just hadn't thought about barley tea. H.
