Mai Ya (Chao), or toasted barley sprout, is the germinated grain of barley (Hordeum vulgare) that has been stir-fried as part of traditional Pao Zhi processing. It is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), often included in blends to support digestion and harmonise herbal formulas.

Its gentle sweetness and neutral nature make it especially suitable for teas and decoctions, where it contributes both subtle flavour and functional versatility. Commonly appreciated in East Asian traditions, it complements other grains and herbs in promoting balance and wellness.
