What beverage does Italy, Japan, Korea and China have in common? They all love a roasted brew made from barley. In Italy, they brew it dark and rich like espresso. You can order an Orzo anywhere they serve coffee, from the train station to the best espresso bars and trattorias. Italians love to drink Orzo in the afternoon and after dinner for a caffeine-free dessert beverage. The Japanese steep roasted barley like tea and chill it for a cooling hot weather drink called Mugicha. It is reputed to be cleansing for the body, good for digestion and helpful in reducing stress, probably due to the absence of caffeine. Koreans share the love for their roasted barley brew called Boricha, which they drink hot during cold weather or chilled in place of water because they consider it more refreshing. <br><br> With over 40 years of experience sourcing premier botanicals, Worldwide Botanicals develops and works in partnership with suppliers to import the highest quality products.
