Frost-Touched Mulberry Leaf Tea (Morus alba) — Dried Mulberry Leaf for Herbal Infusion

Frost-Touched Mulberry Leaf Tea (Morus alba) is the dried, lightly roasted leaf of the mulberry tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Sāng Yè (桑叶). Harvested after the first frost—a traditional timing prized in Chinese food-herb culture—these leaves are gently washed, pan-roasted, and dried to preserve their character. Mulberry leaf is a well-known food herb (药食同源) with a sweet-bitter nature and a slightly cooling disposition, traditionally associated with the Lung and Liver channels, where it is valued for gently clearing heat and supporting seasonal balance.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully washed, lightly pan-roasted, and dried to preserve a deep green-to-olive leaf color, a crisp and slightly brittle texture, and a clean, grassy aroma with faint toasted notes. When brewed, the leaves unfurl and yield a pale golden-green infusion with a mild, gently sweet taste and a soft, refreshing finish—light enough for daily drinking yet distinctive enough to enjoy on its own.

It also appears in seasonal congee and light decoctions, particularly in late summer and autumn when the frost-touched leaf is traditionally gathered. In Chinese food-herb culture, it is a familiar kitchen and teapot ingredient, valued for its gentle, cooling character and its place in everyday seasonal nourishment.
