The one that I have is from Shandong, China. Where my mother was born. There are also other Mulberry tea from other part of China, but the taste is not exactly the same from place to place, due to
ReplyDelete1) the growing environment
2) the processing techniques
Due to the plantation of Mulberry trees, so the neighbor surroundings are also organic fruit gardens. Because any pesticide in the neighborhood could kills those trees.
Each family in the village takes responsibility to take care of silk worms. Silk worms don't eat leaves from trees, instead villagers picked leaves and feed those silk worms.
For me, it is not just because of its health benefits, but give me a chance to help my family in China.
Our Mulberry tea has laboratory test report.
