What is Barley Tea?
Barley tea, also known as big barley tea, is a popular tea beverage in East Asia. Barley tea is also used as a substitute for coffee in Europe and the United States.
Barley tea is a beverage made by roasting barley and grinding it into powder. In the early Showa period in Japan, such a drink would be called “barley soup”, which means “barley boiled water”. It can be said that barley tea is “a hot drink with a taste” and “cold drink with a flavour”. It is very popular in summer, especially Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese people like to drink it. In addition, corn tea is added to barley tea in Korea to eliminate some of the bitterness that barley brings.
As I take a sip of this refreshing and nutty barley tea, I am reminded of the simple yet enduring qualities of our love, a love that is grounded in trust, loyalty, and respect.

What’s the Difference between Barley, Wheat, and Malt?
Although it is collectively referred to as “wheat tea” in the market, the fact is that barley, malt and wheat are individual materials. And the specific effects of these three kinds of barley tea are slightly different! For different types of barley tea, ABoxTik also provides explanations. I believe that everyone will know how to select and drink barley tea after reading it!
Barley
Almost all the barley tea we know of are made from barley. In addition to being sweet and salty in taste, and slightly cool in nature, barley can also enter the spleen and stomach. It is very helpful for diuresis, relieving summer heat, eliminating edema and flatulence, and also promoting digestion.
Malt
Malt is the germination product of barley which tastes sweeter than barley. The principle of malt’s sweetness lies in the fact that the “seed” is sprouting, and the content of amylase in malt is higher than that of barley, so it is stronger than barley in terms of invigorating the stomach and spleen. If you drink barley tea made from malt properly, it can improve the problems of flatulence and indigestion!
Wheat
Barley, malt, and wheat are different types of grains despite tasting similar after decoction. Wheat is relatively sweet and slightly cold in nature, therefore, if wheat is compared with barley and malt, the effect of wheat in eliminating food accumulation and helping digestion is not so significant. However, unlike barley and malt, wheat has the effect of improving stress and mood. If you drink it properly, it can even improve the issue of poor sleep quality.
