I believe Japanese hojicha is also often caffeine free or light.

The caffeine content claims about hojicha are apocryphal and in my subjective experience it has as much caffeine as other teas.

Does this have the roasted barley taste? It's great to cold brew this type in the summer. So refreshing.

In the winter we go with Rooiboos. South African friends introduced me to it, including dipping the rusks!

You might be thinking of roasted buckwheat tea? Also excellent!

why not just drink roasted barley infusion? I don't think it contains caffeine, and while very different from coffe or tee, it's quite palatable.
