Mulberry Leaf, Mulberry Fruit and Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

In Chinese food therapy, the mulberry tree is considered one of the most generous plants around — almost every part of it has a traditional use. This particular tea brings together three of its gifts: the leaf, the fruit, and the trusty goji berry. People brew it when their eyesight feels less sharp than it used to be, when their eyes feel dry after a long day on the computer, or when they notice the early fuzziness that comes with age. Nourilo says it is also well suited to anyone who spends long hours staring at screens — not as a substitute for rest, but as a small daily kindness to the eyes.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Mulberries · Randomized controlled trial, 24 participants · 2017
    Post-prandial self-monitored glucose was lower than placebo (18.2%), but A1C did not differ between mulberry leaf extract and placebo. Serum creatinine rose about 15% in the extract group.Limitation: Small pilot: only 17 of 24 enrolled participants completed the study, limiting statistical power.PubMed 28619294 · 3 more mulberries studies
  • Goji berries · Meta-analysis, 161 participants · 2012
    Compared with placebo (n=80), the goji juice group (n=81) reported greater improvements in several self-rated symptoms, including stress, mental acuity, sleep quality and overall well-being, under a random effects model.Limitation: Outcomes were self-reported symptom questionnaires, and several symptoms showed significant heterogeneity across the four pooled trials of a single branded juice.PubMed 22897500 · 3 more goji berries studies
