What is White Mulberry Leaf Tea?
The white mulberry tree (Latin: Morus alba) is a deciduous tree native to China. It grows to a height between 25ft - 60 ft., bears white flower and red berries. The fruit is sweet but lacks a strong flavor. The leaves of the white mulberry are used to brew teas which are valued for their sweet earthy flavor and for their health benefits.

White Mulberry Leaf tea is quite simply one of the best things you can consume for your health. Few other herbs can offer such a wide range of health benefits.

There are decades of research supporting these benefits. You can click here: The Science Behind White Mulberry Tea, to see summaries of some of the recent research.
Brewing White Mulberry Tea
The leaves of the white muberry tree (Morus alba) are large and waxy leaf. Consequently they require a longer brewing time than the average green tea. We recommend using water at about 160 deg. (just beginning to boil) and brewing time of about eight minutes.
