Was it hot orange or hot yuzu http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzu ?
LOVE yuzu cha. You can get jars of the Yuzu marmalade (mix a heaped tablespoon into a glass/cup of hot water) in Korean stores - Yuzu is Yuja in Korean. 꿀유자차
I guess barley tea is a bit of an acquired taste. I'm drawn to cold mugi cha in the summer. However, it's never a top choice of mine as a hot beverage.

When I first visited Japan in 2000, this was my single most confusing thing about the country. 14 years, two more trips and tons more knowledge about Japan later... and I'm no closer to the answer.
