Just curious, is this drink alcoholic? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.129.137.114 ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC).
It's also worth mentioning that in Korea this is served somewhat lukewarm in winter, although you can certainly request it hot. In that case, the waitstaff will just microwave it for you. Consider it more a water substitute than a separate beverage served along with water at a meal. Note that tea preparation can kill off bacteria and other bio-contaminant, and such a step was prudent during the more unstable part of Korea's history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.228.33 ( talk) 15:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Good points. I think there is a roasted barley tea in America, used as a coffee substitute. This would be all very good and important to follow up on. It would also seem strange if Japanese and Koreans had a drink that Chinese never thought of, so let's check on that too. Badagnani ( talk) 20:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
It looks like in Chinese it's dàmàichá ( 大麥 茶). These websites mention it in Chinese culture:

Good, and I thought "roasted barely tea" is a neologism but the site shows the name. -- Appletrees ( talk) 20:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Without roasting the unhulled barley, a very light liquid similar to the liquid produced when cooking rice is produced--which is not very flavorful or desirable to drink. I believe keeping "roasted" makes it more clear that the beverage is always prepared from pre-roasted barley, and for the Chinese package I believe it's understood that this tea is made from roasted barley, even if the word "roasted" doesn't appear on the package.

Barley tea is always roasted before boiling, and thus "roasted" is a very important component to the title. Badagnani ( talk) 04:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone have a cite for a study showing the level of Acrylamide found in Mugicha? There is mention of the high level of this cancer-causing compound in the generic “Roasted Grain Beverage” article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roasted_grain_beverage#Safety so I thought it would be a good idea to include a section here on the possible health hazards of consuming Mugicha.
The FDA has tested numerous foods for the presence of Acrylamide and one of the test samples with the highest overall levels was Postum, also a roasted grain beverage. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/acrydata.html Since the manufacturing processes are similar, it may be safe to suspect that Mugicha has very high levels as well.
It would be nice to have a specific study, however, before adding a section on Mugicha’s potential cancer-causing properties. Mingus19 ( talk) 07:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Please do not allege that another long-time, productive Wikipedian is adding "spam" to Wikipedia articles. The link, as we do with any cuisine-related page, serves to illustrate an example of the commercial product described, and to serve as a source proving that such a commercially produced roasted barley beverage exists. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Badagnani ( talk) 23:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Your testimony does not hold up. It's clear that you removed the fact that the product is ground, as well as that it commercially available in this form. We must be reasonable in everything we do, and always keep our readers foremost in our minds when we edit. Providing no source showing such a commercial product does a disservice to our readers and in fact sheds doubt on the fact that such a commercial product even exists, which is why we use sources in the first place. As mentioned earlier, this is typical of cuisine-related articles, where there is often little documentation in newspapers, books, etc. of particular products or recipes. The link is not any form of "spam" but simply serves to illustrate the product described in the article, and serve as a source that such a product exists. Badagnani ( talk) 00:28, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I found what appears to be the source for the second sentence, but didn't verify the info.
Both the studies mentioned should be presented per WP:MEDRS. -- Ronz ( talk) 02:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Discussion of a merge can be held in a different section separate of this RM, though it's not recommended. ( non-admin closure) JudgeRM (talk to me) 20:21, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Roasted barley tea → Barley tea – Is there any other kind of barley tea? Grains are usually roasted to make tea. Brown rice tea is made from roasted brown rice. Corn tea is made from roasted corn kernels. Besides, all of the native language words listed in the page (Chinese 大麦茶, Japanese 麦茶, and Korean 보리차) literally mean "barley tea".
