Korean Mulberry Branch Tea | Sang Zhi for Joints | 5.25 oz
Kosbee Mulberry Branch Tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from whole Korean mulberry twigs (Morus alba, known as Sang Zhi) — a Product of Korea, cut into ready-to-brew sticks with nothing added.
What Is Mulberry Branch Tea?
While most mulberry products use the leaf, this tea uses the branch — Sang Zhi (상지) in traditional Korean and Chinese herbalism. The twigs are traditionally used to ease stiffness through the shoulders, arms, and wrists and to support an active, mobile day.
The brew is mild and woody, never bitter, so it drinks easily as an everyday cup.
For gentle circulation and joints, look past the leaf and to the branch. In traditional Asian wellness, mulberry branches were the herb of choice to wake up stiff shoulders and arms. Hidden inside these slender twigs is a meaningful share of plant-based calcium. Kosbee prepares mulberry branches grown in Korea's clean countryside — a woody, comforting cup from nature instead of a chemical supplement.
Branches, Not Just Leaves
In North America, mulberry usually means leaf tea for blood-sugar routines. Mulberry branch — Morus alba twigs, or Sang Zhi — is a different herb with its own story: a time-honored choice for upper-body joint comfort and flexibility, not a leaf trend.
A Good Source of Calcium
What makes these twigs unusual is how much plant-based calcium they carry. Here is what each serving offers:
- Plant-based calcium
- Per the nutrition panel, each 1/4-cup (10g) serving provides about 157 mg of calcium — 12% of the Daily Value, a good source from a woody plant rather than dairy.
- Naturally caffeine-free
- A mild, woody brew you can sip all day without the jitters.
- Ready-to-brew sticks
- Cut to the ideal length for simmering — no sawing tough wood at home.
Whole Korean Twigs, Cleanly Cut
We hand-select mulberry branches grown in Korea's clean countryside and cut them into neat, ready-to-brew sticks — clean wood you can see and trust, never dusty or crumbled. Carefully sourced and prepared by Kosbee.
Each 5.25 oz (150g) pack holds about 15 servings. Ships from our New Jersey warehouse within 1 business day.
How to Brew Sang Zhi Tea
Use about 10g (1/4 cup) of twigs per pot. Slow simmering draws out the smooth, woody flavor.
- Mobility tea: Rinse the twigs, add to about 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- Joint-wellness broth: Add a few twigs when simmering chicken or duck soup — pairs well with Kosbee Eomnamu (엄나무, Kalopanax) or Jeopgolmok (접골목, Sambucus stem).
- Do not eat raw: The sticks are hard wood — brew them, then strain and discard. Never chew the pieces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these mulberry branches really from Korea?
Yes. These are whole Morus alba twigs grown in Korea's clean countryside — a Product of Korea — then cleanly cut into ready-to-brew sticks and prepared by Kosbee. Nothing is added: no sugar, no dyes, and no fillers, just whole woody branches.
How do I brew mulberry branch tea?
Rinse about 10g (1/4 cup) of twigs, add to roughly 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 40 minutes to an hour. Strain and discard the wood — never chew it. A 5.25 oz (150g) pack makes about 15 servings.
Any cautions, side effects, or allergens?
The twigs contain none of the Big 9 allergens, but must be brewed and discarded, never eaten raw. Mulberry branch has a cooling nature, so if your stomach runs cold, brew it lightly or with ginger. If pregnant, nursing, or on medication, consult your healthcare provider first.
How is this different from mulberry leaf tea?
Mulberry leaf tea is usually chosen for blood-sugar routines. This is the branch — Sang Zhi — a separate herb traditionally used for upper-body joint comfort and flexibility. It is woody rather than grassy in flavor, caffeine-free, and a good source of plant-based calcium.
