Healthy Top 10

Canadians are definitely missing out by not enjoying mo'mugi. As the updated 2019 Canada Food Guide says, 100% fruit juice is now considered a sugary drink associated with dental decay, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

As the most popular tea in Japan for over 500 years for everyone from babies to adults, roasted barley tea has been scientifically proven to improve blood flow which can lead to the prevention of various lifestyle diseases. The scientific study was published by the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology.
3) Deliciously increase antioxidants
Japan, a country famous for its healthy slim citizens with the world's longest life expectancy, consumes roasted barley tea on a daily basis.

4) No more plastic bottles
Our teabags are made large so you can make one whole litre of cold mo'mugi with just one teabag and easily take it to go in a thermos, cutting down on plastic bottles and bottled water. And bottled water has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons.
5) Teabags without plastic and chemicals
As winners of the 2019 Shuswap Launch-a-Preneur Green Award, we take our responsibilities for our healthy tea and the environment seriously.
To maximize the health benefits of mo'mugi we spent months researching teabags. Unlike many other teabags on the market, mo'mugi teabags do not contain plastics, adhesives, or epichlorohydrin (a potentially carcinogenic compound that prevents the bag from breaking). Nobody wants to drink plastic or chemicals in their tea, right?
That's also why our tea has no chemical aftertaste, and the permeation is excellent. In fact, in 2018 our teabags won the "New Product Innovation Award”
for sustainable packaging at the World Tea Expo! Read more about why the biomaterial used in our teabags is better and compostable on A Plastic Planet.
6) Eco-Friendly
The environment matters to all of us and that's why we strive to have a small carbon footprint by sourcing our organic barley locally. And we've invested in our cutting-edge roaster that is zero emission, our teabags are municipally compostable, and our pouch packaging is recyclable.
We're lucky Recycle BC is currently conducting R&D with the goal of zero landfill waste for standup pouches, the first province to do so! Click here for the full details on their research.
7) The best replacement when you're bored with water
Over 30% of the BC tea drinkers we surveyed said they were bored with water. Us too! If you reach for mo'mugi instead, you can enjoy it hot for a soothing drink, and cold when you want to be super refreshed. Our tea is most famous for its thirst-quenching properties. We drink it cold year-round in our house, and sometimes we need more!
8) Kids love it
We always have a pitcher in the fridge and it's the first drink they want in the morning and before bed. It's such a great alternative to unhealthy sugary, high-calorie drinks. It's one of the first drink babies in Japan get at six months old.
