Korean Mulberry Branch Tea | Sang Zhi Twig Sticks | 5.25 oz
Kosbee Korean Mulberry Branch Tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from whole Korean mulberry twigs — Morus alba, known as Sang Zhi (상지) — a Product of Korea, cut into ready-to-brew sticks with nothing added, for a mild, woody, never-bitter cup.
In the West, mulberry usually means the leaf. This tea is the other part of the tree — the branch — brewed in Korea as a plain, woody, everyday cup quite unlike a grassy leaf tea. Each resealable 5.25 oz (150 g) pack holds about 15 servings.
Most people know mulberry as the leaf — but in Korea, the slender branch (Sang Zhi) was brewed too, into a mild, woody tea. Kosbee hand-selects mulberry branches grown in Korea's clean countryside and cuts them into neat, ready-to-brew sticks, so you can enjoy that same simple, comforting cup at home.
The Branch, Not the Leaf
In North America, mulberry usually means leaf tea. Mulberry branch — Morus alba twigs, or Sang Zhi — is a different ingredient with its own woody character, brewed in Korean tradition rather than steeped like a leaf.
It's a refreshingly different way to enjoy mulberry, with nothing added.

How to Brew Korean Mulberry Branch
Rinse about 0.35 oz (10 g) of twigs, add to 6 cups (about 1.5 liters) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 40 minutes to an hour. The flavor is mild and woody, easy to drink in place of plain water.
For a broth, simmer a few twigs with Kosbee eomnamu (엄나무, kalopanax) or jeopgolmok (접골목, sambucus stem) in a chicken or duck soup for a deeper, woodier pot.
It's hard wood, so never chew or eat it raw — simmer it for tea or broth, then strain out and discard the pieces.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Mulberry branch has a cooling character, so if your stomach runs cold or sensitive, brew it lightly or with a slice of ginger, and enjoy it in moderation.
Never chew or eat the wood raw — simmer it for tea and discard the pieces.
If you are pregnant or nursing, or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor before drinking it regularly.
