Divine comfort in the dark hours of winter. Inspired by the original barley tisane kykeon, the ritual drink of devotees of the Greek goddess Demeter, this tea has a satin texture and creamy flavor. Nutty roasted barley and malt are enriched by the subtle aroma of sweet aniseed and roasted cacao. A splash of your favorite milk turns up its natural sweetness.

Like a warm hug

This flavor is by far the best I’ve tasted yet! I’ve only tried a couple of the ones that I’ve ordered, but I plan to buy more of this one. It’s warm and rich… kinda reminds me of a gingerbread cookie a little bit. It tastes absolutely fabulous with a little bit of whatever kind of milk you like…highly recommend!

Great Caffeine Free Option

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this tea! My first time having a barley tea. Richly bodied with a subtle caramel sweetness. The cocoa and anise are secondary flavors, and round out the flavor nicely.
