White mullberry tea is a very special tea which comes from the white mulberry tree. Silkworms prefer the leaves of white mulberry to any other mulberry tree and turns out they are right to do so. The tree is a small to medium sized tree growing to a maximum height of 65 feet and is native to North China. The tea has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over four hundred years. It also is mentioned in medical texts from Ancient Greece. Even America’s favorite Dr. Oz is now recommending it and calls the white mulberry a super food!
The white mulberry tea is made from the white mulberry leaves as opposed to the red or black varieties. It is recommended in Chinese medicine to help people with diabetes, anemia, baldness, graying hair and even constipation. People also use it when they have the flu or a cold, headache, sore throat or even a cough.
Dr. Oz has mentioned that a White Mulberry supplement is a good choice for weight loss but also for people with cholesterol. Most importantly the tea can boost your immune system and many of us could benefit from that. Modern day research has discovered that these mulberry leaves contain a property called DNJ (1-doxynojirmycin) which actually inhibits some stomach enzymes which are responsible for processing fats and sugars. This means that fewer sugars and fats are absorbed into the blood stream. If you drink this tea with your meals or half an hour before the meal, you can more easily forego that extra portion of food or even a sweet desert.
You can serve this tea hot or even over ice for a refreshing drink in the summer. It has a smooth and subtle taste and is best served without anything – so no sugar, honey or sweeteners and definitely no milk! You can buy the tea.
This tea only contains the leaves of the white mulberry tree and you can buy the whole leaf tea or the tea bags. Each make delicious tea but purists would always choose the whole leaf tea. To make the tea you need to bring freshly drawn water (which naturally has a high oxygen content as opposed to water that has been left to stand or worse, even boiled beforehand) to a rolling boil and then simply pour it over the tea bag or tea leaves. Leave the tea to steep for ten to fifteen minutes and then pour and enjoy. If you are making the tea in a teapot, make sure to remove the tea bag or tea leaves after the allotted time. Otherwise the tea will become too strong or even bitter.
Some women who are pregnant or lactating could by hypersensitive to this tea and people taking anti-depressants or sedatives should ask the advice of their health care professional before drinking this tea.
Nature is rarely wrong. If silk worms preferred these leaves, we can take their advice and also enjoy this remarkable white mulberry tea.
