Mulberry Leaf, Chrysanthemum & Reed Root Tea

Why people make this tea

In traditional Chinese food therapy, colds and respiratory infections are divided into two patterns: “wind-cold” (chills, clear runny nose, no fever or thirst) and “wind-heat” (mild fever, sore or dry throat, slight thirst). If you tend to run warm — your throat gets scratchy or dry after eating a little spicy or fried food — you fall into the heat-leaning category, and this tea was designed for you. Mulberry leaf, chrysanthemum, and reed root are all gently cooling herbs that work together to ease throat dryness and support the body when a wind-heat cold is brewing.
