White Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba L.) – Dried Leaf for Tea and Blends

White Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba L.) from Herba Organica consists of carefully dried leaves from this long-cultivated tree species, valued for its mild, green character and versatility in both traditional herbal use and modern botanical preparations. Each batch is selected to ensure consistent colour, clean leaf structure, and a balanced, neutral profile, making it a dependable ingredient for herbal infusions, culinary applications, and layered botanical blends.

Botanical Profile

White Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is a deciduous tree native to East Asia and now widely cultivated across Europe and other temperate regions. It belongs to the Moraceae family and is easily recognised by its light green, softly textured leaves and spreading crown. Traditionally grown in connection with silk production, the leaves were also collected, dried, and stored for household use.

The leaves are typically harvested during the growing season when they are fully developed but still tender, then gently dried to preserve their natural colour and fine structure. Once dried, White Mulberry Leaf becomes a light, leaf-based botanical with a subtle, neutral taste that blends easily with a wide range of other herbs.

Traditional and Culinary Use

White Mulberry Leaf has been part of traditional herbal collections for centuries, particularly in East Asian and later European herbal traditions. Historically, it was prepared as a simple leaf infusion or used as a background component in mixed herbal preparations. Its mild character made it suitable for daily use and easy to combine with more aromatic, floral, or earthy herbs.

In culinary contexts, the dried leaves were sometimes incorporated into light broths, herbal beverages, or botanical blends designed for seasonal use. Because it lacks strong bitterness or intense aroma, White Mulberry Leaf is often chosen as a soft base herb that supports other ingredients rather than dominating the flavour profile.
