Mulberry Sour Jujube Seed Tea

Why people make this tea

City life tends to run on nervous energy. Deadlines, noise, and the relentless pace of modern schedules leave many people in a state that Chinese medicine has long described as “nervous weakness” (shen jing shuai ruo): a feeling of running on empty even after a full night’s sleep, difficulty concentrating, emotional volatility, a tendency to startle, and restless or dream-filled nights. Nourilo offers this simple, two-ingredient tea as a gentle everyday remedy. Both mulberries and dry-fried sour jujube seeds have been used for centuries to nourish the liver and heart, calm the mind, and ease the kind of exhaustion that comes not from physical exertion but from too much thinking and too little stillness. The brown sugar makes it slightly warming — helpful for those who run cool.
