Our barley tea is made at Kawahara Flour Mills, which was established in 1940 in Nerima ward in Tokyo.
The barley tea is made from 100% pesticide-free barley that is contracted directly with farmer named Isamu Kubo.
The standard barley tea sold by major manufacturers is roasted in a hot air roasting method, which is efficient and can evenly roast the outer shell of barley.
On the other hand, the method used at the Kawahara Flour Mills are different.
They use a 30-year-old stone kiln with made with bricks piled up in the shape of a loaf, and heated sand is circulated in the kiln.
