Black Goji and Black Mulberry Tea

This tea is traditionally enjoyed to nourish the blood, brighten the eyes, and support memory. In traditional practice, it is also associated with helping blood-deficiency dizziness and blurry eyes, as part of a balanced approach to wellness.

Dark purple-black fruits like black goji and black mulberries are rich in natural anthocyanins, which are commonly associated with antioxidant activity and with supporting healthy aging of the brain and memory. Both dried fruits also carry vitamins, organic acids, and trace minerals.

The tea takes about 1 minute to prepare and 10 minutes to steep, for a total of around 11 minutes. It makes 1 pot, and you can refill with hot water and continue drinking until the tea runs pale.

Place 1 tablespoon each of black goji berries and black mulberries in a teapot, rinse once with boiling water and pour it off, then refill with boiling water and steep, covered, for 10 minutes. Continue refilling with hot water until the tea loses its colour.
