Mulberry Leaf, Chrysanthemum, and Stevia Leaf Tea

Why people make this tea

Mulberry leaf is one of the most versatile and underappreciated ingredients in the Chinese herbal pantry, yet it remains widely available at Chinese herb shops at very reasonable prices. Stevia leaf, the natural zero-calorie sweetener, is equally accessible. Brewing these two together with chrysanthemum and a sliver of tangerine peel produces something genuinely useful — a pleasant daily tea that supports the eyes, calms liver heat, and needs no added sugar.

This tea is particularly popular with people who stare at computer screens all day, those who sleep too little, or anyone who notices their eyes looking red, feeling hot, or producing more discharge than usual. In the traditional Chinese framework, these signs are associated with what is called “liver heat” or “yin deficiency with rising fire” — and this gentle tea is a classic daily remedy for that pattern.
