Organic Mulberry Leaf Tea

From the very first sip, the tea is soothing and smooth, with a mild - almost sweet - fine herbal flavour.

With a longer brewing time, you can elicit a heavier, round - almost malty flavour from the tea. The depth of the olive-coloured cup, the taste, is completely different from green tea and yet it reminds us of it.

This may be due to the fact that the mulberry leaves are steamed and processed in the same way as Japanese green tea, which also preserves the delicate ingredients as much as possible.

Mulberry leaf tea is remarkably soothing and ideal for a caffeine-free and relaxing treat, even in the evening.

Also available in powdered form!

Organic Mulberry Leaf Tea Shimane

This mulberry leaf tea with a fine, toasty caramel flavour is produced in Shimane Prefecture. The leaves are hand-picked in Shimane and lightly fired. This gives them a fine, warm flavour and a pleasant sweetness. In the cup, the infusion has a golden colour reminiscent of honey and amber. Depending on how it is prepared, the tea develops nuances of black tea, barley, popped amaranth or hojicha. A wealth of surprising flavours that invites you on a taste journey to the mist-shrouded mountains of Shimane. Background The leaves of mulberry trees are essential in silk production as they are the only source of food for silkworms. They were therefore also cultivated for silk production in Japan for a long time. Due to the advance of artificial fibres, many of the cultivation areas are now fallow. The realisation that mulberry leaves can also be very tasty and nutritious for us humans if processed correctly therefore came just in time to breathe new life into the mulberry groves.

A second infusion is possible, but will be significantly weaker. Tip: Also try the mixture with green tea!

Japanischer Maulbeerblättertee im Set aus Kagoshima und Shimane

KEIKO Maulbeerblätter-Tee Set

Zwei Varianten des Maulbeerblätter-Tees im Probier-Paket zum Vorteilspreis.Das Set enthält Maulbeerblättertee Kagoshima und Maulbeerblättertee Shimane zu je 50g.Schon das trockene Blatt und die Aufgussfarbe der beiden Sorten lassen die Unterschiede erahnen: In Kagoshima werden die Maulbeerblätter auf ehemals für die Teeproduktion verwendeten Geräten verarbeitet. Blätter und Aufguss erhält so eine dezente Süße und ein wohltuendes Aroma, das uns an frühsommerliche satte Wiesen, Weizengras und Brennnessel oder Hanf erinnert. In der Tasse hat der Aufguss eine olivgrüne Farbe.In Shimane werden die Blätter von Handgepflückt und anschließend etwas stärker getrocknet Das Blattgut enthält dadurch neben grünen auch etwas bräunliche Blatt- und Stängelteile und erzeugt im Aufguss eine bernsteinfarbene Tassenfarbe und herrlichem fein-toastigem Karamellaroma hergestellt. In der Tasse hat der Aufguss eine goldene Farbe, die an Honig und Bernstein erinnert.Je nach Zubereitung entwickelt der Maulbeerblättertee aus Shimane Nuancen von schwarzem Tee, Gerste, gepopptem Amaranth oder Hojicha. Eine Fülle von überraschenden Aromen, die zu einer Geschmacksreise in die nebelumwobenen Berge von Shimane einlädt.HintergrundDie Blätter der Maulbeerbäume dienen als Nahrungsquelle für Seidenraupen und wurden daher für die Seidenproduktion lange Zeit auch in Japan kultiviert. Durch den Vormarsch künstlicher Fasern liegen heutzutage viele der Anbaugebiete brach. Die Erkenntnis, dass Maulbeerblätter mit der richtigen Verarbeitung auch für uns Menschen sehr wohlschmeckend und nahrhaft sein können, kam also gerade recht, um die Maulbeerhaine mit neuem Leben zu füllen.Lesen Sie hier mehr zu den Eigenschaften und Vorzügen der Maulbeerblätter

Mulberry Leaf Powder - Organic

The mild and sweet aroma of mulberry leaves has a relaxing and soothing effect. The color, especially in powder form, is similar to matcha tea with its fresh light green hue. In terms of taste, the powder is reminiscent of a mild matcha with the slightly nutty note of nettle tea. It is not for nothing that the powder of ground mulberry leaves is popularly used in Japan for caffeine-free "matcha lattes". This may be attributed to the fact that the mulberry leaves are steamed and processed just as gently as Japanese green tea, which also preserves the sensitive ingredients in the best possible way. Whipped up like matcha or matcha latte, it is an ideal caffeine-free and milder alternative or can be used as a complement to matcha for the evening. Mulberry leaves do particularly well as a balancing component in more tart teas such as Benifuuki powder - here the sweet aroma creates a pleasant balance. With its wealth of active ingredients the powder also makes for a valuable addition to green smoothies.
