Mulberry and Roasted Black Soybean Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo often says the whole mulberry tree is a treasure — leaf, twig, root-bark are all used — but the dark ripe fruit is the heart of it. In tradition the mulberry nourishes the liver and kidney and replenishes the blood, which is why it is so often turned to for dim eyes, ringing ears and a hearing that fades, especially worse at night, alongside a weak, achy lower back and knees. Paired with fragrant roasted black soybeans it makes a quiet, everyday tea.
